As you can clearly see below, my dna is on the top of the list. I have 25 y-DNA markers. The surnames
below are the ones I feel best represent close matches to my genetic line. Cooper is an exact match.
Mckinlay is 23/25 match with 25 markers. Stewart is 23/25 markers. Stirling is 23/25 markers. Turner is 24/25
markers. MacGregor is 22/25 markers. I chose this MacGregor because he is "descended form MacGregor
of Glengyle ( 2 generations earlier than Rob Roy's Branch)." Campbell is 22/25 markers. I chose the
Campbell because he has 37 markers so we can make a comparison with the others here with 37 markers.

The blue shows where the other surnames are different form my Laird dna. The green color shows where it
is different, but marker 289-1, 389-2, are considered one marker, and as long as one of the numbers match
it does not count as being off by a marker. The orange color shows where the surname Turner and Stirling
are off from the MacGregor surname. Since I do not have the 37 marker test I compared Turner and Stirling
with MacGregor. I chose the Campbell because he has 37 markers, and I wanted to show how the
Campbells compare to the MacGregor line. The pink color show the fastest changing markers.

I think it is important to mention here some information about "fast moving markers" the familytreedna.com
site states as follows: " If you have 2 people who match exactly except on a single marker and that marker
is one that is highlighted in RED within your surname group then the current estimate of distance between
2 people are related is probably overstated, and they are more closely related than could be assumed by a
standard single marker deviation".
