Well no, not really, try Ulster Co., New York instead (or was it Delaware Co.?).
Watching the film Bridges of Madison County reminded me that in my own FAIRBAIRN family we had our very own covered bridge builder - so Seager FAIRBAIRN is hereby added to the notables list so a (small) picture of his handiwork could be included.

Stamfordham, Northumberland (NBL)
A stub from the Summary Patriarchs page for the family of Robert & Mary (ATKINSON) FAIRBAIRN of Stamfordham that has existed for quite some time without further information has been updated and linked to their tree now included in the One Name Study pages.
This tree includes two branches linked on circumstantial evidence:
- Son Robert (married to Ann DODD), linked by birth date and place and a missing first son, elder brother of Stephen to be found
- Grandson John of Erie, Pennsylvania, (married to Elizabeth HUBBARD) assumed son of Stephen & Jane (JACKSON) FAIRBAIRN
Investigations for other Stamfordham FAIRBAIRNs led to a couple more inventive indexing candidates: William and John sons of a John, near contemporary to the above Robert, were indexed as FARIBEWER and FAIRBWIER respectively, even though their clearly enumerated relationship to John (born abt 1778 at Stamfordham and indexed as FAIRBAIRN, living at Horsley Barns) was son in both instances.

Notables updated
A review of the Summary Patriarchs Page for broken links brought up the family of William & Mary MOTT) FAIRBAIRN of Philadelphia and New York, and their son Revd Dr Robert Brinckerhoff FAIRBAIRN.
The latter has now been included in the Notables list.
If anyone can shed any light on the rather "interesting" family history claims in Robert's son Henry's biography, it would be good to update William's page - or gain a direct male line candidate of the line for the DNA project. Suspect however that this family is one that has "daughtered out".

Robert & Janet (HOGARTH) FAIRBAIRN
Another lineage, that of Robert & Janet (HOGARTH) FAIRBAIRN was missed in the transfer of family information from the dna to the One Name Study pages.
They are therefore listed in the recent changes index because of this shift, rather than any new information becoming available.

Francis, Andrew and James
The One Name Study pages have been uploaded to include research from 2009 (this GenForum post refers) re Andrew FAIRBAIRN in Ontario, married to Eliza Ann HAGERMAN.
The activity was prompted by the realisation that another researcher (John) needed to be transferred from the older DNA Surnames researcher list to the now current list on the One Name Study pages, which now also include John's ancestors Francis & Isabella (HENDERWICK) FAIRBAIRN, a family often shown as Andrew's parents but without any supporting evidence.
Would be good to get a direct male line FAIRBAIRN from Andrew's line to represent it in the FAIRBAIRN DNA project, and one from the line of the Ednam blacksmiths line that very circumstantial evidence may link to the Fogo smith believed to be Andrew's father - James, married to Margaret HOG. And/or any evidence placing Andrew with his correct family.

The NZ connection?
This FAIRBAIRN Rootsweb Message board post refers.
Interested to hear from anyone with any light to shed on the topic of whether or not John the son of Henry and Mary (YOUNG) FAIRBAIRN is the John who married Annie MIDDLEWOOD in Chorlton cum Hardy, Lancashire, and if so, why family (Eric MEKIE writing in 1977), thought John had gone "to NZ".
As John has not yet been definitively found in the 1881 census, perhaps he went and returned?
Regardless of the answer to the above question, the One Name Study pages have been updated to include Henry in his family tree, the line of John & Elizabeth (YULE) FAIRBAIRN and a page included for John.

Tweaks finished? Two new lineages added
The One Name Study Lineage pages have been fully reloaded.
They should now include all the person information (as opposed to place) that was once on the Analysis section, and all of the Researcher, Lineage, and Wanted! information that was in the FAIRBAIRN Surname DNA project supplementary pages.
The recent changes index is therefore a little fuller than normal, with many of the entries merely being there because of the above shift having been completed.
There are some textual alterations as the rationale behind some of the linkages has been reviewed and an attempt made to make some of the conclusions a bit clearer - no doubt more to come.
New to the pages are the trees of :
Wish we could find one for the South African family of John son of James and Agnes (BRACK) FAIRBAIRN.
