Ancestors and DNA |
|||||
| Ancestor line contains both our male and female ancestors Nisbet DNA ancestor line follows a direct male line of ancestors from son to father to father to father-----
This MEANS that an ancestor line COULD then descend from DNA1 through a female ancestor and still belong to another Nisbet DNA group such as DNA2 through surname male line |

Nisbet Ancestors and DNA |
|||||
| From above we can have ancestors that may have descended from Nisbet of that Ilk, Greenholm etc without being a DNA ancestor The different DNA groups have been given a description that MAY NOT be correct and may be misleading especially Greenholm The lack of documentation before 1600 and also
after is the reason we will never really know the correct origin of
these DNA groups or how they if related are related DNA1 that is considered to be from Nisbet of
that Ilk The fact that inhertance descends is the reason this is possible From the original Nisbet of that Ilk the property would be
automatically passed on to the eldest son Example (scenario can be
used for any of the groups or any generation of the groups) 1st son DNAa (descendants with DNAa) 2nd son DNAa (direct male descendants DNAa) 3rd son DNAa (direct male descendants DNAa) the property would then pass to the 1st son DNAa and his children IF 1st DNAa only had a daughter the property would then be passed on
to her and then to her children If this was early enough before actual surnames DNAb would still be designated as being Nisbet of that Ilk and both the husband and children would then be designated as Nisbet of that Ilk
We would then have two DNA groups for
this Nisbet line new DNAb and from the 1st
generation still DNAa If it was after surnames (and not designations) were more common the above scenario would still quite possibly happen
Name changes sometimes occurred on inheriting or otherwise acquiring
landed property.

Nisbets that married Nisbet ancestor line descendants COULD then descend from two different Nisbet DNA groups one by a female ancestor and another by a male ancestor
I believe that many of the errors in pedigrees and books may be a result of a families being told they are from a branch and automatically think this has to be a male line.
Some of the Nisbets known that married Nisbets and there is more
known and no doubt many unknown
