Summary result page, updated to reflect the expected results of John (F-17)'s SNP backbone test to confirm his haplogroup (John a descendant of John & Jessie (JOHNSTON) FAIRBAIRN).
It was indeed I1, so we weren't jumping the gun assigning him to Lineage 1.

17th: Beyond the Borders
Preliminary (12 marker) results are in for Bill (F-20), our sole representative of the Fife line of FAIRBAIRNs, Thomas and Jean (LAWSON/LOWSON) FAIRBAIRN.
They don't yet have a haplogroup assigned, but there isn't an immediately obvious match to the Borders lineages, although 10/12 to Stan (F-15).
The latest results do however have a 12/12 match with someone not in our project but tested with Family Tree DNA by the surname of FREEBORN, no further information currently available.
The overall results on the Supplementary pages have been updated, as has the summary result page on the World Families pages.
At the same time, some additional pedigrees have been added to the Patriarchs page in the hope of finding representatives:
Remember that if you are thinking of seeing what dna testing can do for your family history, brick walls, refining your paper trails, that the discounts are still are on offer until the end of July, and we would love to hear from any male FAIRBAIRN interested enough in his family history to help us identify as many FAIRBAIRN lines as we can and see how they may link up.

- preliminary outline for the Stitchel/Maxton family of schoolteacher Charles FAIRBAIRN (married to Agnes MARK)
- basic info for the Massachusetts line of Chris, who has hit a brick wall trying to identify his 2*great grandfather and where in England (or Canada) he came from.

3rd: Thick and fast
Now the batch 312 preliminary results are also arriving.
Check out the Summary result pages for the latest update, 12 markers for a descendant of John FAIRBAIRN & Jessie JOHNSTONE, who belongs to Lineage 1 "clump 2".
The match is only 11/12 as we have our first difference on marker 389-2 in Lineage 1 (30 instead of the 29 all others in Lineage 1 have).
The Supplementary pages have also been updated to include the above, and the Wanted! pages have had a bit of a revamp to reflect the current state of play.

2nd: Spoke too soon
The missing panel was only a day longer than the rest, and did indeed prove rather interesting.
At 67 markers David (F-7) turns out to be only a Genetic Distance of 2 from (F-8), one marker of which, 447, only (F-8) has as 21, so that probably typifies his line of Thomas & Elspeth (REDPATH) FAIRBAIRN, not that that helps fill in too many gaps to connect up David's Trotter FAIRBAIRN as yet.
The supplementary pages have been updated, as has a preliminary attempt at joining up all of "clump 2" of Lineage 1 into one signature chart (as opposed to the subset there previously).

1st: What is it about markers 48 thru 60?
One of the more interesting panels of results for our FAIRBAIRNs is that from 48 thru 60, and it always seems to be the one that takes longest to come thru.
With the recent upgrade promotion David (F-7) took the opportunity to upgrade to 67 markers, and I noticed that two of the 3 panels of results this involves have come thru, but markers 48 thru 60 are still outstanding.
38 thru 47 and 61 thru 67 are as expected.
Supplementary pages on the Projects Portal have been updated with the results to hand.

25th: 19th recruit; new pedigree added
The Cockburnspath Fairbairns are now represented by a brief outline pedigree on the Patriarchs and by John, married to Helen Grieve, on the Supplementary pages.
We have also welcomed our 19th recruit.
Still waiting for the "in progress" results to pop out the other end, and 3 of the 19 kits to make it back to the lab.
Remember the discount promotion ends 30th June, with payment now not required until 7th July to be eligible. A good time to be in if you've been dithering.

18th: Another Schoolmaster
Updated the Patriarch's page for the John and Helen (ANDERSON) FAIRBAIRN pedigree to include a few more details for son Peter, factor to Lord Seaforth, and previously a schoolmaster in Coldingham.
Also gave Peter a page on the supplementary dna pages in the hope of finding a descendant willing to join the project and represent this line.
Also expanded the Cockburnspath stub ever so slightly on the Patriarchs page.
Still waiting for results from the kits in progress, so nothing new to report there as yet.
Remember the good discount on the Y-DNA37 +mtDNA test is still available until the end of this month for those thinking about joining.
