DNA Results TBD

Previous testing

The Fullarton/Fullerton DNA Project currently does not list anyone claiming Alexander Fullerton as their Most Distant Known Patrilineal Ancestor (MDKPA).

NGS/WGS testing

NGS/WGS testing of descendants of John Fullerton would identify the haplogroup for the family and possibly define subclades for descendants.
