Paternal Sub-groups Summaries

We have written summaries for each of the distinct Burnett paternal sub-groups identified by Y-DNA testing. The summaries are aimed both at those who have already tested, to enable them to expand their knowledge about their Burnett line and to see the broad positive impact of their testing; and at those male Burnetts who have not yet tested, as well as those who are not male or who are researching a non-paternal Burnett line.

Each summary contains a brief account of the Burnetts who belong to that paternal line, as well as details of the various branches of the family (haplogroup and sub-haplogroups). We have also provided the names of all the validated ancestors of our testers, along with key vital information such as birth and death year and location and the name of their spouse. An abbreviated family chart is also included.

You will not find your father nor (probably) your grandfather, as we have excluded recent ancestors for privacy reasons.
