The following site claims to have a Haplotype from a direct descendant of Robert the Bruce: http://www.small-stuff.com/BRUCE/results.htm The 12 markers presented are close to the MacWho modal with the exception of DYS385a=11. Given that this is the marker said in the MacWho modal to have been a “recLOH” mutation, can we now ask are the MacWho descendants of Robert the Bruce? -- Cheers, Colin Ferguson
Interesting? I take it you refer to the first two individuals for whom there are only 12 markers? It would be interesting to see more markers.

Colin --Since whwn does adn 11 out of 12 match prove anything beyond a dim possibility of a relationship between the testers? There were four of us Gordons matching on both the 12- and 25-marker. It took the 37-marker to indicate that one of us was from an entirely different line. To show ANY kind of dsecendancy, more makers are needed -- the more the better, unless the 25-marker throws it all out.

Robert the Bruce had two children who survived him: Marjorie, daughter of his first wife Isabel of Mar David, son of his second wife Elizabeth de Burgh David succeeded his father and reigned as King David II, from 1329 till 1371 but died childless. Marjorie married Walter the Steward and had a son, Robert who succeeded his uncle David and reigned as Robert II from 1371 to 1390 Now if his only son died childless how did they determine that they have a Heliotype from one of his direct descendants? Did anyone bother to actually look at his family tree? Of course his brother Christian may have male descendants, in the direct line, but Robert! I think not!!
