DNA Info
The DNA project would very much like to hear from a direct male line representative from the line of William Fairbairn. The respective grandchildren of James and William married in Northumberland, which may be complete coincidence.It does rather look like William's line has "daughtered out", but if direct male line descendants of James' can be found, they may match Lineage 2c?
Which match would confirm that William, son of William and May (Carter) Fairbairn is indeed the one married to Janet Taylor.6,7
William's line needs a/another participant in the FAIRBAIRN Surname DNA Project. Check out the Wanted! page for further information.
