Introduction
Welcome to the home page for those sharing a segment of dna on chromosome 05 and trying to figure out which ancestor is responsible for that.
Names/places
Scottish Borders:
Archibald FAIRBAIRN and Alison CROSSER are the known ancestral couple for several of the matches, and thus also the line to explore for others even if the connection is not obvious.
With significant matching segments from sons Walter, David/James (one cheated and descends from both), and Robert, which latter matches (two lines, but not on this particular segment for the second) provided additional evidence for Robert being Archibald's son.
Colonial America accounts for several of the matches - but possibly with a bit of work at least some in the group will either have a known cousin at a strategic spot to narrow down which branch to explore further, at least between their trees even if they can't cross the pond.
Wanted!
In order to help refine which ancestor(s) of our matches are responsible for the shared/inherited DNA it is very useful to have a range of tested descendants.
We would therefore particularly love to hear from descendants of any of the following who either have joined in the fun of autosomal dna testing, or who may be interested in doing so (see
DNA Groups page for further information).
Links are to either
WikiTree or
FamilySearch, both collaborative one world trees where it is free to register and contribute.
With known descendants in the tested gene pool the matches become easier to assign to specific ancestral lines for further investigation of links between matches where the links are not known.
Chromosome Map
If registered for the site, you may find a chromosome map of the dna segments in the Histories link in the sidebar.
Some of the people mentioned are linked to their tree in DNAGeds tree
Do NOT believe such trees without verification as they are merely quick research into possible areas to explain dna matches.
