Lineage 1

See the Patriarchs page, the project diary (Fairbairn One Name Study and DNA project blog) and the supplementary project pages on DNA Surnames for further information.

Haplogroup R1b1

More participants needed before any conclusions can be reached on these.
F-4 & F-23 still have no matches in the Family Tree database.
F-15's closest matches at 67 markers (GD 4) are with a McKAIN (77% probability of a common ancestor in 12 generations) and a CALDER (80% of a common ancestor in 12 generations), with more distant matches adding in a DUNCAN, and ADAMS and a couple more McKAINs.

However, we do now have a Lineage 2 forming within this haplogroup, with an exact match (on those markers that can be compared between Ancestry's 32 marker and Family Tree DNA's 37 marker test).
This indicates a connection between the Fifeshire FAIRBAIRNs (F-20) and an Irish/Canadian FREEBORN family (F-21). How close this is likely to be wont be known until more marker results are available or more participants for these lineages found.

Haplogroup J2

Rather surprisingly, this lineage has a number of matches with several MONTGOMERY families. More investigation, and another participant from a separate line of the family, needed.

Automated result table from Family Tree DNA, in case the above don't get updated quickly enough.
