****  Please note that we require at least 3 of every Shetland surname to ensure that there is only one signature for that name.  This applies most directly to those whose surname has a Scottish Mainland or Orkney derivation.  For any surname ending in "son", thanks to Norse patronymic naming traditions, we will need 7 or more participants in order to ensure reasonable coverage since those with these surnames will not necessarily be related to each other, but more likely to others with different "son" surnames.
Note that the following participants have set up their own surname project in addition to retaining their membership in the Shetland DNA Project.
1)  LEASK at www.clan-leask.us
