Hi folks,
If any of you are interested in how the assorted FAIRBAIRN families inter-relate, keep checking out the FAIRBAIRN dna project pages.

http://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/fairbairn/

We've just had a 6th test order, two others are in varying stages of processing.
The first 3 participants turned out to be related.
You don't have to be a dna participant to submit pedigrees for the Patriarchs page which is intended to show the assorted lines.
If thinking about getting tested, there are some heavy discounts available until the end of August.
Follow the Join Project link to make sure you get offered the discounted rates (no I don't get a cut, I just want to see how closely all these FAIRBAIRN families are related).
Personally, at the moment I'm trying to find descendants of the following families who may connect to mine, or I believe do, but would like more proof:
- Robert FAIRBAIRN and Kate SCOTT (emigrated abt 1828 to Ontario settled around Napanee, Richmond area) Descendants include (I think) William and Catherine (MORGAN) FAIRBAIRN.
- Archibald FAIRBAIRN and Jane BLAKEY, from Northumberland, whose descendants look like they may be the FAIRBAIRNs of
Vegreville, Alberta
- James FAIRBAIRN and Mabel/Mary Bel THOMSON (descendants include Robert FAIRBAIRN and Isabella HENDERSON, Archibald FAIRBAIRN & Fanny WAITE, James FAIRBAIRN and Elizabeth WRIGHT)
