With the kits for several new participants either at the lab, or about to be, time for some more updates:
The Summary World Families Network pages have had a catch up to the more detailed information available on the Supplementary project pages available on the DNA Projects Portal.
- added pedigree for Robert & Elizabeth (YOUNG) FAIRBAIRN (Robert's 1851 census shows him as born Eckford, c 1799).
- result summary updated to include the two IRWINs (and their matching ELLIOTs) who match our FAIRBAIRN Lineage 1 modal marginally better than our FAIRBAIRNs do

13th: Updated pedigrees
The Patriarchs page now includes a few more twigs in the family of John & Elizabeth (YULE) FAIRBAIRN in the hope of attracting a participant or two to represent these lines.
This activity being prompted by the receipt of a copy of a three page pedigree from the FAIRBAIRN file of the Wellington County of Ontario archives. Undated, and unsourced in the copy I was given (but subsequently identified as submitted by Nora CARLAW nee MARSTON, a now-deceased descendant of Clarissa Harlow FAIRBAIRN's), I can spot at least 7 families incorporated into this one tree.
Whereas the project is indeed showing us that many of the Scottish Borders families are indeed related, it doesn't tell us how, and many of the links shown in this document are suspect, so I felt it should be added to the Patriarchs page, linked to some hopefully useful comments on alternate data.
Treat anyone in the Supplementary pages with an "!" after their name with caution, the information presented for such people needs verification.
The tree as provided from that file begins with John 1563.
Only a fortnight left to go for kits to be ordered, and paid for, to get the discount. Be in - follow any of the Join Project or Order links on the project pages.

27th participant
Another kit, F-27, is now winging its way to a representative of a new line. Details will follow later.
Yes, I'm cheating on the numbers slightly as I've reserved F-25 and F-26 for the two ELLIOTTs who match Mike IRWIN (F-24), and our Lineage 1 "clump 2" modal.
Expansion aside, both the Supplementary pages, and the Summary pages have been updated to include the outline of another FAIRBAIRN Lineage, that of Alexander and Isabella (ATCHESON) FAIRBAIRN. Representatives wanted.
(and the Fairbairn lineage intro page map now starts with a wider view of the world)
Discounts still available for kits ordered and paid for by the end of December, so if you have a FAIRBAIRN brick wall to be explored, connections to prove, be in and join the project.
(the project summary pages have links to good overviews on dna testing, but any questions not answered there, contact the admin, details in the footers of most pages)

New member - with a twist
We have our first non FAIRBAIRN with a good 67 marker match to Lineage 1 (clump 2).
Welcome to Mike (IRWIN) F-24 who is closer to the modal than any of our FAIRBAIRNs!
His closest match in the FAIRBAIRNs is Joe (F-10).
He is also an exact match (at 67 markers) to an ELLIOTT, so our horizons are broadening.
For comparative purposes, the two matching ELLIOTT results from Y-search have been included in the overall results grid on the supplementary pages, but as one doesn't answer his email and the other has an anti-spam challenge on his we are unlikely to find out more unless they contact the project.

19th: The project is growing
Participant F-23 has just ordered a kit. More details later once results are in.

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.
