Firstly, a big thank you to all of you have humoured me over the years by testing your DNA, and those who help this Genealogy & DNA obsessive - yes I'm still obsessed!
I wish you all a happy and healthy 2023.
Time for the snapshots.
Progress over the last couple of years?
Have I actually made any progress on my main goals?
Progress is never as much as hoped but this one takes my prize as most unexpected:
Unexpected half 2nd cousins were added to my rather sparse Davidson tree from the Scottish Borders, and sort of as a result, along with previously unplaced DNA matches, my tree gained some ancestors.
Lurking in (almost) plain sight.

Brickwall status?
With half of the John Davidson brickwall being demolished, the closest brickwalls are, or remain:
3*great grandparent "holes" or questions
1. Who was John Davidson's father
2. Who were Amelia Millar's parents?
3. Is (Amelia's husband) James Henderson's father really Archibald Henderson?
4* great grandparent "holes"
4. Where did William Clinton spring from?
5. Who was Jemima Parker's father?
6. Anything about John & Ann Robison, parents of the Agnes Robison who married John Fairbairn.
7. Eleanor Scott's parents.
