I have submitted dna for profiling with a company known as Oxfordshire Ancestors. Our line has been traced as far back as one of the ancient northern tribes, who probably originally came to England with invading Romans. I have recently been contacted by someone of Berwick origin who shares my dna profile. On visiting Scotland recently, I discovered that the name Coates has been closely associated with the Clan Farquharson, who supported Charles Stuart during the Jacobite Rebellion. I have yet to establish a link with this particular group of the Coates's. I just thought that there may at some stage be someone researching this particular line of enquiry, who might find this interesting. Any one who feels that this may be relevant is welcome to compare my dna. Kind Regards David Coates - Oxfordshire
