DNA
My renewed interest in this family is because of a DNA match (32cM segment, MyHeritage) between a descendant of their son John and a Fairbairn descendant of John Fairbairn & Bessie Flint. It is too early to tell if we can prove that the segment comes from their respective Fairbairn lines but I live in hope :) Henderson-2297 02:10, 16 October 2020 (UTC)
