Hello all! I'm a writer of several non-fiction books (including 'The Year of Living Biblically' and 'Drop Dead Healthy.' My next book is about genealogy and tracing my roots. And for the finale of the book, I plan to throw the largest family reunion in history. You're invited! All seven billion members of the human family are welcome. Those who have a confirmed link to me will get a special bracelet and be part of the record-breaking family photo. I'm excited to use collaborative genealogy and Wikitree as part of this project. I've already gotten some great volunteers working on my tree -- so thank you for that.

For more information on me and my project, here is a New York Times article I wrote about it recently... http://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/01/opinion/sunday/are-you-my-cousin.html

And here's a link to my website page about it

Hi A.J. About the Lynns who were lairds in Dalry, Ayrshire, I'm afraid there is no primary or otherwise reliable source connecting any one of them in a father-son relationship to the Scottish Lynns who settled in northwest Ulster in the plantation. There is much to suggest that there is a relationship, but nothing to define what that relationship might have been. You might take a look at my website, particularly the page about Margaret (Lynn) Lewis, whose so-called diary has been proven to be a work of fiction but has misled many into believing there was a laird of Loch Lynn.
