Familton

Remember to also check the Surname specific blogs for activity.
The FAMILTON one has had an exciting update in that we've finally proven that two Scottish Borders FAMILTON/FAMELTOUN etc families, both weavers in the early 1700s, are indeed genetically linked - and in Haplogroup G.
As a result all DNASurnames pages have been refreshed, including adding a few twigs to the Y-DNA Haplogroup chart to specifically include the haplo G branches concerned.

Tweaks

Remember to check out the Recent changes in case changes aren't listed here.
Those for the FAMILTON related lineages are a few date tweaks.
Those listed for the HENDERSONs are the inclusion of Jean OSWALL of Stirling, the most distant maternal ancestor of Margaret McEWAN, wife of Archibald HENDERSON, a descendant of whom (Margaret's, not Archibald's!) has just had results in for their mtDNA - Hapologroup W.

A few other pages have had small revisions, eg DAWE and RICHARDSON, both being additional links to other pages with more information, particularly for lines not as yet represented in DNA projects, but Wanted!

Also check out the individual project diaries as appropriate (rhs links) for more project specific  activity.
The FAIRBAIRN project now has 52 participants, and the RUNCIMAN one has had a new result in recently.

The general links (bottom rhs of each lineage page), have also had a tidy-up, eg replacing the defunct dnaforums.

20th: New project added

A FAMILTON Surname DNA Project has been added to the list of those with some details on the DNA Projects Portal.
Same set up as most of the others:

• Project Diary on Blogspot,
• Summary pages on the WorldFamilies Network,
• Supplementary pages on the Projects Portal.

All we need now are representatives from the lines we're trying to prove are related.
