DNA
- ) The Boyd FTDNA group list George / Isabella in the A-M32 haplogroup.
- ) Therefore it is biologically IMPOSSIBLE for any direct descendant to claim R-M269 as the Haplogroup without some type of NPE.
- ) Therefore the DNA listed under this profile may be incorrectly linked and ALL facts in the descendants need to be rechecked for errors.
- I, Ed Street, have added the father as NON-BIOLOGICAL to fix the R-M haplogroup bleed over into this line. It is said this line is A-M32, to date no proof or evidence has been shown to me to back up this claim. Until proof can be obtained I think the non-biological would be the proper path to take. Any parents on this line is also skeptical and without proof.
Research Notes
- Parents were NOT Robert Boyd (1669-1743) and Elizabeth Jennet (Johnston) Boyd (1665-1705)! George's FamilySearch profile shows the correct parentage.
- There is a Find A Grave: Memorial #30037337 memorial that contains incorrect information, so do not rely on this memorial as a source!

Colin has taken this family DNA from the A-M32 level in the 67 and or 111 Marker lever to A-BY16272 level with the Big Y700 results. In the Wikitree Boyd-1069 and Boyd-1071, his DNA results are published. However, on George Boyd, Sr.’s page, when you click on his father, it shows “Robert Boyd and Elizabeth Jennet Johnston” as his parents. (Robert Boyd 1678-1743)
I think that I have been writing for about a “decade” or more that his parents are George Boyd (1660-17xx) George Boyd (abt.1660-abt.1712) and Elizabeth Johnston Elizabeth (Johnston) Boyd (abt.1670-abt.1705) [m. 4 June 1686, Airth, Stirlingshire]" (I added the WikiTree ID's)
