David,

I've been reading with interest your posting regarding your Shetland
geographic project. Just for giggles and laughs I checked the surnames that
are represented there. Could you please lay the numbers shown above against
Stewart, Kit # 15341? I think I see a 24/25 match, the mismatch being in the
fast moving 464a.

We are supposed to have a connection to the Stewarts through the Douglases.
Our surname is Scotland would have been Glendonwyn or Glendenning or one of
the other variants.

Thanks,

Sharon

If the numbers don't come through properly, let me know and I will send you
an excell attachment.

> Doug: Same diff n'est pas. The genealogy of all of us Shetlander
descendants who have an ancestor from there with the Stewart surname goes
via Robert Stewart, Earl of Orkney back to his father James V, and then to
all the latter's ancestors. I am assuming that Robert II and James V would
hve the same haplotype, but I use James V here simply because it was his son
who went to the Northern Isles.

"fecundity factor" - that all the Stewarts of each generation were more
"fit" to reproduce (it's hard to say no to the King), and they had a vast
number of "casual liasons", thus the "Ghengis Khan and Attilla the Hun
factor" comes into play? Whatever, the genealogy (barring any non - aternal
factors) of the Stewart participant indicates that in all probability we are
seeing the haplotype of the Scottish Kings. Also, is it not reasonable to
suppose that the ancestor of Clan Donald R1b's was a Scottish Monarch -
especially in light of the Shetland evidence?
