9th: Another patriarch added - Francis

Another line of FAIRBAIRNs has been added to the Patriarchs page on the Summary pages of the project.
That of Francis and Isabella (HENDERWICK/HENDRIWORTH/INNERWICK) FAIRBAIRN, of Kelso then Selkirk.
Family spread from Kelso to Selkirk (Broomhill and Hartwoodburn), Peebles, and to Canada (Ontario) and the States (Detroit, and California).

The supplementary pages have also been updated to include additional data on this line, including a plea for a dna participant to represent this family.

Lineage 1 "clump 2"

With the final panel of results in for (F-17) the result grids, and dna signature charts on the Supplementary pages have been reviewed, and the line of John & Jessie (JOHNSTON) FAIRBAIRN included in the theoretical signature chart for "clump 2".
Please bear in mind that this is best efforts only, and any help in working out how these families may be connected would be most welcome.
The Summary pages result grid has also been updated (and a couple of typos corrected).

A number of the individual pages for participants have been updated to reflect the latest information on their Genetic Distances to each other, particularly those matching F-17.

5th: Fife update

The final panel of results for our Fife representative, F-20, have arrived.
The match to the FREEBORN has slipped from 24/25 to 33/37, so fairly distant, which isn't that surprising given one line has a patriarch born Ireland c 1790 was in Canada by the 1830/40s, and the other in Fife from around 1770.

World Families Network Summary result pages updated, both for the above, and as a catch up for yesterday's results for F-17.

Supplementary overall grid page also updated for the Fife F-20 results.

4th: More matching results

The 26 thru 37 marker panel for (F-17)'s results have arrived, and show an excellent match to the Lineage 1 modal from prior results.
Looks like markers 389-2 = 30 and CDYb=39 signify the lineage of John and Jessie (JOHNSTON) FAIRBAIRN.

The Supplementary pages have been updated.

1st: addenda

Supplementary pages overall DNA results grid updated to reflect an additional panel for F-17's results. Still waiting on 26 thru 37, but 38 thru 47 are now available, and match the rest of Lineage 1.

1st: Pedigree updates

The Overview Pedigree Page on the World Families Network pages has had a couple of tweaks.
  • a link has been added between a posting on the Pedigrees Forum for a researcher of the line of Robert and Isabella (WEAVER) FAIRBAIRN, and their pedigree on the Patrarchs page (represented in Haplogroup R1b1)
  • A newly found line of descent from James and Joan (FORSYTH) FAIRBAIRN has been added in the hope of finding a representative (and their Wanted! descendancy chart has been updated on the Supplementary project pages)
    Anyone know what happened to descendants of Lester (Sarah), William (Ermina), Edmund, along with the more usual James and Robert, children of William George and Margaret FAIRBAIRN living Buffalo, Erie Co, New York from about 1888?

25th: 18th kit at lab

Our 18th kit has hit the lab, two more still out there somewhere.

Patriarchs page updated to include a very brief outline of the Irish FREEBORN family who match 24/25 (so far) with F-20 our Fifeshire FAIRBAIRNs representative.
