Most of the links below take you to WikiTree - all help in documenting descendants welcome.
It is a free, collaborative tree, great privacy controls for the living, and very DNA friendly.
Whatever test you have taken, IF you are comfortable being in an online tree, connected to your ancestors, then join WikiTree, input enough of your family to connect up to any already there, and show what DNA tests you have taken.
Regardless of any DNA tests, why not help the Fairbairn project by expanding your line down at least a little bit towards present day?
One of the goals for the Fairbairn DNA project for this year (2023) is to further clarify the DNA groups for the Cockburnspath line down from George Fairbairn (married Christian Bookles).
Our sole yDNA tested representative for this line is a descendant of James Fairbairn b. 1793 (married Jean Anderson) and son of John (married Grizel Johnston).
Here's the list of yDNA descendants for John currently on WikiTree - quite a gap down to present day and a mere drop in the ocean of the actual descendants!
The Fairbairn Surname DNA project is currently looking for direct male line descendants down from any of James' brothers to validate the DNA signature back as far as John for starters.
- David b. 1787 (married Alison Anderson)
- Walter b. 1802
are currently the only two descendants connected to John on WikiTree.
You can help.
The project has a y37 DNA test available for a suitable candidate, with the possibility of an upgrade should the results be as hoped.
Contact the Fairbairn Surname DNA project administrator with the details of the direct male line concerned to enquire.
Look forward to hearing from you.
