A Scottish Borders line that was expected to match Lineage 1, but unfortunately doesn't, matching a heap of MONTGOMERY dna participants instead.
A confirming dna signature from a different line of descent would be rather nice to have as a result.
Examining DNA results, Y and atDNA, with only one FamilyFinder (atDNA) result from Robert's line, but several of the close Y-DNA Montgomery matches having also undertaken FamiyFinder testing, there are no MONTGOMERY surname matches in Robert's descendant's matches - which could indicate that the MONTGOMERY link is quite a way back.2
