This project diary is for the FAMILTON project to let the world know about the project finds.

FamilyTreeDNA has recently provided each project with the ability for members to communicate with each other via a group message board.

The one for FAMILTON is set to be a closed group so that only members can see the messages.
Feel free to join the project and participate.

Ancrum weaver tweaks

Detailed project pages have had a few date & place tweaks for the family of Thomas FAMILTON of Ancrum.

Birdhope Craig, Northumberland

The Patriarchs page has had a few more twigs added to the family of Thomas & Ann FAMILTON of Elsdon whose children were baptised at Birdhope Craig Presbyterian.
There must be someone still around to represent this family in the FAMILTON Surname DNA project to see if they're a match to the other line(s).

Behind the scenes

Behind the scenes of DNASurnames.info has been some renumbering work to make the site easier to maintain, and link as necessary, to other sites.
A rather overdue review showed that quite a few bits were broken as a result.
Fixed, along with another twig being added to the Wanted chart for William and Elizabeth (WILSON) FAMILTON.
It would be really really great to get a participant from this line into the project to see if there's a match with FT-1.

Matriarch haplogroup H

mtDNA results are now in for a direct maternal descendant of a FAMILTON matriarch, Elizabeth FAMILTON, wife of John RUNCHAMAN, a weaver of Earlston.
Haplogroup H

A few more hours to go before the discount offer closes in case any FAMILTON males wish to join in the fun and help tease out the puzzle a bit.
