Quebec Sintons

An outline descendant chart (of dna candidates only) has been added to the Patriarchs page for the family of Robert & Jane (WIGHT) SINTON of Quebec.
To explore relationships between SINTON lines, DNA candidates are still required for:
- James and Ann SINTON of Lowick, Northumberland
- John and Janet (SCOTT) SYNTON of Duns
- James & Isabella (FLEMING) SINTON of Southdean
- William & Isabella (BLACK) SINTON of Jedburgh and Southdean

So, if you are a direct male line SINTON from any of these, or other lines not documented  here, simply follow the links to join the project.

Jedburgh lineage

I'd not been in a hurry to publish the latest set of results as FT DNA matches was saying, "no match".
Given the paper trail showed a match to Lineage 1a, the Jedburgh SINTONs of William & Isabella (SCOTT) this was a disappointment.
However, the next panel arrived, so I set to updating the database and web pages, creating a new "lineage" in the R1b1b2 haplogroup - and then realised that he was an exact match to just the line he was supposed to be.
FT DNA have been asked why the "no match" results, and LRF (S-6) has been included in Lineage 1a, as he should be.
Summary results, and supplementary pages updated to include him in his rightful place on the SINTON tree.

Another match! Jedburgh to Southdean

Preliminary results are just in (hot off the press) for the 4th kit, that of a descendant of the Jedburgh SINTONs, William and Isabella (SCOTT) SINTON, who married Hawick c 1804.

12/12 marker match with the Lineage 1 Southdean Sintons.
The 26-37 marker results are also available, and show a couple of markers different to the Southdean lineage 1; The 13-25 marker panel still to come.

Results page and the Roy's pages on the DNA Projects Portal updated but as yet, nothing else.

It would still be good to get a distant cousin of Roy's into the project to see whether the markers showing different to the Southdean ones are a pattern for the Jedburgh Sintons or not. Any takers? Remember that there are discounts until the end of December if you join via the project.

New lineages added

DNA Projects Portal site updated to include lineages for both of the last two participants (Roy's Jedburgh line and Bob's Irish line).

Also combined the Southdean lineages, and added a brief note about why I've joined the John who married Alison HALL up to James SINTON and Barbara OLIVER of Clesleepeel, and connected Peter (married Janet DONALDSON) up to this latter James' father's assumed first marriage.

3rd kit ordered - Jedburgh connection

Descendant of William SINTON and Isabella SCOTT (of Jedburgh) has joined the project (pedigree on patriarchs page) .

New pedigree added

Added pedigree for the family of William (married Isabella SCOTT) in the hope it may attract a descendant to participate.
William and Isabella were mainly Jedburgh based, with a large number of descendants in New Zealand.
