Intro
Please bear in mind that these charts, particularly those not for my own family, do not purport to be complete, containing only those I've happened upon, or are needed to show where people, eg researchers, "fit".
Following the person links within each chart will show full source data for the information included, and any further information available.
In general the only non FAIRBAIRN names included are the partners, although exceptions may occur where a link to a researcher of a line is included.

Lineage Numbers
Lineage numbers have been allocated to any progenitor family with dna tested descendents.The numbering scheme is xyzn where:
- x groups like DNA Haplogroups (1=I1, 2=R)
- y then groups sharing a specific marker within x
- z is then another marker specific grouping within y, OR the head of a lineage sharing markers with y
- n is any additional numbering required within z to head a lineage
At the top of each chart so numbered there should be an explanation of why the grouping has been done, with a more visual chart being available on the DNA pages, eg the Summary Results
