(cir. 1772 - Jul 1824)
Recruit(AnotherWanted) | The project would like to recruit another representative of this line. How does this family relate to the others? Descendants seem to have populated, or at least travelled to, many parts of the world: the Rev Patrick's extended family could be found in British Guiana, Canada, Africa and New Zealand (at least); George's in Australia, South Africa and England; John a Minister in Greenlaw, Berwickshire. We now have a representative from the line of the Rev. Patrick FAIRBAIRN, however another from one of his brothers would be very useful in order to get a good confirmation of John's dna signature. Candidates do seem a little in short supply however, as most branches appear to have "daughtered out". |
