Biography

Cousin Bill may no longer be with us ^[1] but his DNA results live on.

He was a lovely man, in addition to which he indulged my passion for using DNA to try and solve our Henderson ancestry mystery and willingly undertook any test I threw at him over many years: Geno 2, ScotlandsDNA, assorted y upgrades at FTDNA, (including only this year, the upgrade from BigY500 to 700), FamilyFinder, 23andme and agreed to be transferred to all we could do so.

R.I.P, Bill

DNA

Haplogroup R--BY19859 (sub branch of R-S7361)

We would love to break through our brickwall ancestor of Archibald HENDERSON, blacksmith of the Bridge of Allan, Stirlingshire, Scotland (Lorna's web pages; WikiTree profile).
