If you have this blog bookmarked, please change your bookmark to the new blog at FairbairnsAll. Seemed a bit silly running two separate blogs, one for the DNA project blog and one for the One Name Study, given that the research on FAIRBAIRNs between the two often overlaps. All history has been migrated, but this will stay here so that any existing links to it still work.

Anyone interested in William Armstrong FAIRBURN, "noted American author, naval architect, marine engineer, and industrial executive" (from Wikipedia)? Stumbled across a reference on the Encyclopedia of human thermodynamics that was making a case for his being a son of a William, and grandson of Sir William FAIRBAIRN, which didn't seem altogether too accurate. End result: Wikipedia now has an

"Collected one shilling & five pence this day James Fairbairn wright in E Gordon Compeared in the place of public Repentance before the Congregation and was Rebuked for fornication with his now married wife before marriage and so dismissed" This was from a cash book entry dated 9th Nov 1783 in the Gordon, Berwickshire OPRs. Son Andrew's baptism was recorded on the 13th. Not yet sure who James

A brief outline descendant chart for the Legerwood family of James & Isobel (TAIT) FAIRBAIRN has been added to the identified family groups page, along with some comments/speculation about whether this James, of West Morriston, is one and the same as the James of Carolside Mill. PS subsequent finding of an 1802 baptism to James & Agnes (BRACK) of Carrolside Mill put paid to that theory, their son

Given I was checking the pedigree for a chap in Selkirk, who turned out to belong to a family from Innerwick, analysis of East Lothian Fairbairn births from the OPRs has been started. Check out Fairbairn: ELN(SCT).

The fledgling FAIRBAIRN One Name Study (ONS) pages have begun to be fleshed out. Stage one is to include links under the "Identified Family Groups" tab to the families already shown on the Patriarchs page of the related DNA study.

Welcome to the Fairbairn Surname One Name Study (ONS) Project Diary. Guild of One Name Studies (GOONS) registration has been applied for and Companion web pages for the study are in the process of being created. In the meantime, the dna pages continue to be fully operational and are an obviously complementary site for a study of a surname.
