Burn Y chromosomes! Having had my Y chromosome markers analysed by Oxford Ancestors.. I wonder if there are any other Burn s out there who have had a similar analysis for comparison even if not known to be at all related/ The name seems to have a number of origins from totally different sources but most Burn s appear to have come from the region of the Scottish Borders particularly from Northumberland and Durham. I have traced my own Burn s back to Roxburghshire. The Y chromosome ? Turns out it is pure Celtic. I was expecting a more Saxon type or even Viking from those parts. Not so surprising when you consider that the borders region was the home of the Strathclyde Celts... and a Celtic sub tribe called the Bernicia which became an Anglo Saxon area of Bernicia..... Hmm! could that be yet another Burn name origin. Nah!
