*****Asking all male descendants of the following branches to consider doing a DNA test so that we can have the fullest picture of the surviving family in the UK possible*****
• John BRYMER and Elizabeth BRUCE ->Robert BRYMER and Margaret RENTON
• William BREMNER and Agnes JACKSON -> David BRYMER and Matilda WATSON ->James BRYMER and Margaret GREIG
• James BRIMER or BRYMER and Margaret HALL
• James BRYMER and Ann MORRIS
• Isaiah BRIMER and Margaret
• Alexander BRYMER and Harriet PARR
• James Wilson BRIMER and Elizabeth
*****If you are not sure which branch you belong to but would like to take part in the research please get in touch as soon as possible*****
To update everyone on the research so far:
All bar 3 of the 110 males with the Brimer or Brymer surname, passed on by the father, born between 1916 and 1998 in England, Scotland and Wales have been identified and placed in a branch of the family.
Eleven branches have been identified, although it is assumed that some of these will merge as the research progresses backwards. Six of the branches have people taking DNA tests.
I have managed to contact 66% of the males identified and of those 29% have responded so far. There are 11 DNA tests currently underway with the results expected between now and June.
On the documentary side, there are currently over 1700 people on the master tree. Several data sets are complete and the database has been designed and will hopefully be ready to go live on the website in the next couple of weeks. Family trees will follow a few weeks later.
The breakdown of the lines is as follows:
James Brymer and Helen Cuthill: 28 alive; 22 contacted; 8 responded; 3 tested
James Brymer and Elizabeth Bruce: 19 alive; 11 contacted; 7 responded; 3 tested
Hannah Brimer Fox: 15 alive; 10 contacted; 1 responded; 1 tested
William Bremner and Agnes Jackson: 19 alive; 18 contacted; 4 responded; 2 tested

James Brimer and Helen Reddie: 7 alive; 7 contacted; 2 responded; 1 tested
James Brymer and Ann Morris: 2 alive; 2 contacted; 1 responded; 0 tested
George Bymer and Jane Jones: 3 alive; 3 contacted; 2 responded; 1 tested
Isaiah Brimer and Margaret: 2 alive; 2 contacted; 0 responded; 0 tested
