Due to planning delays, the trip is being pushed out to the August, 2010 timeframe. Watch your newsletter and the Scotland Trip page for updates on the trip. If you are interested in joining us, please contact us. BLAIR DNA Project:Recently, the administrator of the Blair DNA Project announced that the project web pages are being moved to a new domain, BlairDNA.com. All information regarding this project will now reside at BlairDNA.com. If you are a male Blair descendant and haven't submitted your DNA, be sure to join this project. All results are confidential and only shared with your permission. There have been some amazing results! BLAIR DNA Project: There is a very interesting genealogical project happening for Blair descendants right now. John A. Blair, owner of the BlairGenealogy.com domain has taken on administration of a Family Tree DNA project for the BLAIRs. To date there are 73 direct male Blair descendants that have submitted test kits of their DNA for analysis. The results are very interesting and for some, surprising! I won't give it away here, but I suggest that if you are a direct descendant (Surname Blair) of the Blairs, and male, that you investigate this project. If you are a female researcher, Family Tree DNA is working on the other side of the chromosones for you. In the meantime, if you know of a direct male descendant, encourage them to participate. Already there are several lines that now know, through this project, that they have a direct connection to the Blair of Blair line in Scotland. Other submitter lines have found new cousins! Both the Clan Blair Society and Blair Society for Genealogical Research endorse this project. BLAIR DNA Project The Blair Estate: The Blair Estate, outside Dalry, Ayrshire, Scotland has gone through a restoration/renovation to open its doors to corporate events and other visitors. Luke and Caroline Borwick have done a grand job on the ancient Blair home, assisted by their children. View the Blair Estate by visiting their web page at BlairEstate.com.
