(grandson of William and Alison (CLINKSCALE) FAIRBAIRN of Bedshiel, Greenlaw, BEW)
Descendants of James' brother George show that their branch of the family belongs to Haplogroup R1b1, now being shown as Lineage 2c.
Given the Greenlaw and Bedshiel proximity to the John, marr. to Jessie JOHNSTON, who is in Haplogroup I1, a representative from a line other than George would be a "nice to have".
These Wanted! charts may only show direct male line FAIRBAIRNs (plus their spouses) either known to have male descendants, or hoped to have. Only direct father/son FAIRBAIRN males carry the yDNA needed for participation in the yDNA portion of the FAIRBAIRN DNA project.
Any descendant of any Fairbairn line who has tested their autosomal DNA (atDNA), e.g. FamilyTreeDNA's FamilyFinder test, or the only tests offered by MyHeritage, Ancestry and 23andme do please upload your DNA file from your testing company to GEDMatch.com (free) as your DNA may of course hold a vital clue as to a previously unknown connection.
Those who tested on FamilyTreeDNA are also welcome to join the FAIRBAIRN project there. We have an internal "activity feed" for the project available to protect members only, and if sufficient data is available, the DNASurnames project pages can be updated to include an atDNA section for your line.
