This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Burnett, Duncan, Addison Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/5519/AgC.2ACI/1360 Message Board Post: My Brother and I have searched and searched but we have finally given up. Our GG Grandfather, John Burnett born 1794 in the Fettercairn district. He was a bastard child whose Mother was apparently a Burnett. We have absolutely no information as to who the Mother or Father was. John Burnett was married to Isabella Duncan. Isabella was born in 1792 at Brechin. Her Father and Mother were John Duncan and Elspet Addison. Without a male surname the trail is virtually closed. In a last attempt I have had my DNA tested in the hopes of finding a match. In Scotland or most probably Europe. Sadly, there is a long way to go to get more people to get there DNA tested. I shall keep my hopes up. David Coull Burnett
