7th: Welcome to participant #22

With Family Tree DNA's holiday promotion until the end of December, it's a good time to dive in and join the project.
Welcome to Michael F-22 who has done so in the hope of teasing out a few more clues as to his ancestor Robert's forbears.
Son Robert was born c 1818 possibly at Whitton near Morebattle and his death cert shows his parents to be Robert and Isabella (SIMPSON) FAIRBAIRN (so Michael will show up as Michael(SIMPSON) F-22 once his results are in, in order to distinguish him from the other Michael in the project.
Supplementary pages have been updated to include a pedigree for Robert and Isabella, as have the WFN summary pages.
The WFN result pages have also been updated to reflect both the full set of results for F-11, and the incipient Fife/Irish/Canadian Lineage 2 in haplogroup R1b1.

3rd: Another match - clump 2 results

Final results are now in for (F-11) so he's been given a page of his own on the supplementary pages to explain the matches more fully (and why they are apparently so distant).
He has also now been included on the Theoretical signature chart for Lineage 1 "clump 2", placed over with his nearest match, the line of James and Helen (GOODFELLOW) FAIRBAIRN.
His earliest known ancestor, James (marr. Isabella CAMPBELL), has also been given a page of his own with some introductory notes.
Happy reading.

Anyone else out there wanting to see where they might fit into these trees would be most welcome to Join the Project.

9th: 25 marker result update

(F-11)'s 25 marker results are now in, and tracking along to Lineage 1 "clump 2" modal.
The next panel, 26--37 results, will show up which of "clump 2" he is more closely related too.

Supplementary pages updated.

3rd: Batch 326 results coming thru

The first panel of results have arrived for F-11 a descendant of James FAIRBAIRN and Isabel CAMPBELL.
As we don't know how this James connects to the others, he has been converted from "Lineage in progress", to Lineage 1g. Any other representatives from other twigs of this line out there to help define the dna signature for this line?
(the summary pedigree has been updated slightly to show one or two other lines, perhaps someone will find a match).

Supplementary pages have been updated to include the new "clump 2" results.

29th: As promised

The summary patriarchs page has been updated to include the new Irish/Canadian FREEBORN pedigree that has a dna match to the existing Fife pedigree.

The delay was because of a behind the scenes switch in the technology I use to create the page, so I hope all the links and formatting survived unscathed.

28th: Irish Canadian FREEBORN link to Fife FAIRBAIRN

This is to extend a welcome to K(F-21) who has just joined the project.
Those of you who are participants already via Family Tree DNA wont see his matches from your personal page as he tested using the Ancestry-33 test.
However, of the 25 comparable markers with a Y-DNA37 test, he's a 25/25 match with our Fife representative Bill (F-20), showing yet another link between the Irish/Canadian FREEBORNs and the Fife FAIRBAIRNs (the other link has not yet joined the project).

A lineage 2 has now been created and the Supplementary pages updated to reflect this.
The Summary result and patriarch pages will follow in due course.

15th: No longer Missing in Action

The Summary Result pages have been updated to reflect that our Missing in Action kit has finally made it to the lab. Been on a long journey across three oceans!

Also updated is the confirmed haplogroup for Ron (F-19), which is unsurprisingly, I1.

So, watch this space for the next piece of the FAIRBAIRN DNA jigsaw.
