Genealogical DNA testing is a great tool to use in combination with documentation and research. It is proving truly and spectacularly helpful in:

The Adair surname and its variants certainly have
their share of the above challenges. Establishing the various lines
via DNA takes time but will go a long way toward solving many of
them. So, please, jump in and test if you are a male Adair, or find a
tester if you are a descendant and have contact with male Adairs -
let's build up our results to help current and future descendants!
Are you thinking, "But I know my Adair line, I don't need to test." - There's no denying, you as an Adair male may know your line well back and not have any research needs of your own. It is for the more distantly removed daughter lines and for lines that are stuck in later records that you would be providing invaluable potential help. For many of us, you may be the only available male that we can link to, thus adding that one more piece of evidence to our documentation. We also need to establish baseline results for the earliest Adairs to separate and distinguish lines for future researchers, helping them avoid "leaping" into the wrong line; representative results from your firm line is critical to this goal!
