The family of Earlston and Wantonwalls
Descendants have a close genetic match to both the family of William of Crail and that of Thomas & Alison (GRIEVE) Runciman of Innerwick (collectively Lineage 1b), and to a descendant of Alexander & Janet (HENDRIE) RUNCIMAN (Lineage 1c).
NB the line is proven back to David but tentative to the parents shown, George & Jenet (FINLAW) Runciman.
Charts only show those I have researched, only descendants still with the surname RUNCIMAN, and their spouses, and usually only deceased RUNCIMAN family members.
Exceptions include direct lines down to researchers included elsewhere on the site, or for DNA project participants who have agreed to be shown in the latter project.
Should you wish to be included in your relevant chart, please contact the webmistress, using the link in the page footer.
So, in general, charts are by no means complete. Please refer further queries to the researcher(s) listed for the line.
Where there is doubt, conflicting evidence for relationships, or additional published information exists, this is usually discussed on the appropriate person's page, follow the link and make up your mind from the information and sources shown.
Also see Lorna's RUNCIMAN web pages for further information on this line.
