Many Lawsons have already tested and by you doing a test you will see which of these match you and are therefore related. They have tested at Family Tree DNA and most have tested 67 markers. Contact me directly at bobmclaren@earthlink.net and I can give you details on how to join, including prices. Lawson is one of the surnames of Clan MacLaren.
