MURRAY CLAN DNA RESEARCH PROJECT
October 2012- December 2012
Results for Nova Scotia Murrays said to be Tullibardine have matched with quite a number of men named Morrow whose ancestors emigrated to South Carolina 1770 circa.
Two Kits have returned this week (w/c Oct 15) whereby no haplogroup can be determined due to the rarity of both profiles. Free backbone SNP test will be provided to both Kit holders.
Specific results overview will be detailed here shortly
January 2012- October 2012
More male members have ordered the y111 test kit this past few months. As more members order this test refined results within individual families may become more apparent.
Many members have taken advantage of the special offers in July and also quite a number of new members have joined the project.
More female Murrays are ordering the mtDNA tests and results are currently pending for a number of these members.
January 2011
Seven new lineages are currently being tested for compatibility with other Murrays in our Database. These lineages also represent thousands of Murrays over time from around the world.
The latest promotion has attracted new members undertaking the y67 test- Great value in December 2010.
Results are consistently returning with matches in both mtDNA & yDNA + Family finder- often-times on a daily basis.
5th January- Sutherland surname co-administrator joins Murray surname project.
Researchers will know that the Sutherland family are historically linked to the Murrays & to Freskin de Moravia de Fleming- Knight from the Netherlands who is said to be the progenitor of both families in Scotland.
Some members matching Waldron Family from the Netherlands. Are they also related to Freskin?
Murray lineages now represented in the database:
1. Said to be descended from- Freskin~ Murrays of Cockpool ~ Murrays of Murraythwaite ~Murray of Annandale ~
2. Related to above & said to be descended from- John Murray of Falahill~ Murray of Blackbarony~ Murray of Philiphaugh~ Deuchar~ Sundhope ~Elibank
[ The 2 lineages above are also matching each other 67/5 noting a shared ancestor at about the time of birth of Andrew Murray of Blackbarony] John Murray of Falahill did say- Andrew Murray of Cockpool was ' a dear cousin of mine! ' It looks like we may have proved this legend correct after 450- 500 years~]
3. Said to be descended from- Murray of Tullibardine~ Participants are calling for any male members of the Tullibardine lineage to join our surname project in order to verify their results. Group 1b; 3; 7 & 7C
4. Said to be descended from Murray of Traquair & possibly Stanhope~ Group 1b
December 2010
Many results have reurned matching others in the database this month. Please see the updated yDNA & mtDNA reults pages for further information.
More details shortly....
