Hello Andrew, I am surprised that they as a group haven't haven't banded together and upgraded these results to more markers. Some of the ancient FERGUSSON families claim to descend from Fergus, Prince of Galloway who died 1161. As Robert the Bruce descends from Fergus we in the FERGUS(S)ON DNA Project are interested in exploring this further. -- Cheers, Colin

Colin If I recall correctly, apart from the MacWho Fergusons, there were also some in the category of being possible distant relatives? Of course with 12 markers, this is much more common, but it is not "so" common. See Ysearch individuals 4YU9J and URJYW.
