It's a very good idea to have a male Johnston in your line have his Y-DNA tested. There are over 30 haplogroups now so that will give you some idea of the diversity that is there. The Y-DNA test helps to narrow it down significantly. Cliff.

Hi Cliff With such a common name, I've been trying to persuade an English direct male descendant of John Johnston to have a Y-DNA test done. I'll have to metaphorically twist his arm a bit more! Thanks, Lynda On 24 February 2011 11:12, Cliff.

For anyone within reach of Lockerbie, the Earl of Annandale & Hartfell is giving a talk on the "Johnstones of that Ilk and Annandale" tomorrow (Friday 25 February). The venue is Lockerbie Town Hall and the talk begins at 7.30pm. Entrance is free, although a collection will be taken in aid of the Friends of Annandale & Eskdale Museums. Rene

Any chance that someone could record Lord Annandale's talk and make it available? Cliff.
