The Burnett Y-DNA Project

Surname List

The following list of surnames contains, in alphabetical order, the names of all the Burnett ancestors and their wives (where known) listed in the individual Paternal Sub-groups. Note that some names are spelled with a single ‘t’ (Burnet), others with two (Burnett). You can use it to see whether your ancestor is already included within a Paternal Sub-group or not. Each ancestor’s sub-group is shown in the right-hand column. When you find your ancestor, click on the appropriate sub-group above.

You may find it quicker to search for the name of your Burnett ancestor’s wife if you know it.

Note: for the summaries, we have combined 4 Paternal Sub-groups into 2: I‑M253A/R‑269U and R‑M269I/I‑M253E.

If you do not find your Burnett ancestor in the list, do not despair! Share his details with us using the Contact button above. It is possible that we already have his name within the Project but have not yet included his sub-group on this site. It may also be that your ancestor belongs to a new branch within one of the sub-groups. Or it may be that he belongs to an entirely new sub-group. Whichever it is, we would love to hear from you.
