R-FT93868
Terminal branch of "North Uist Lineage #1" in the Ferguson - North Uist Y-DNA Project: three Big Y-700 kits whose declared ancestors are John Ferguson b. 1774 (kit 457027), Neil Ferguson b. 1789 North Uist d. 1866 (kit N234513) and Murdoch McLea 1766 (kit 194971). Everyone on John's and Neil's father-to-son lines carries it.

Where it sits
-
The large "north-west Irish" branch of R1b (below DF49 and L21), strongly associated with Donegal, Derry and Tyrone and with Highland and Hebridean Scotland; the root of everything the North Uist Ferguson project records.
-
First step below M222 on the North Uist Ferguson line (FamilyTreeDNA path R-M222 > Z2959 > S658 > DF104 > DF105 > DF85 > S673 > BY25946 > FT94064).
-
Intermediate SNP below Z2959 on the M222 line, as ordered on the Ferguson - North Uist project page.
-
Intermediate SNP below S658 on the M222 line.
-
A major M222 subclade below DF104; the level at which many Ulster and west-Scottish lineages separate.
-
Subclade of DF105; the Fergus(s)on Surname Project heads the North Uist section "R-M222 >> DF85 > S673 >> FT94064".
-
Subclade of DF85 that carries the North Uist Ferguson lineage and its neighbours. The deepest level FamilyTreeDNA's single-SNP tests reach: kit 680865 (William J Ferguson 1872-1927, lead only) is confirmed to here and no further.
-
Big Y branch below S673, above FT94064.
-
The branch shared by the North Uist Ferguson lineage (FT93868) and a pre-surname Boyd line (FTD49564, kit 803176, Thomas Boyd c.1710 Northern Ireland). The stray "R-M222 >> S673 >> FT94064" text that used to sit on several Ferguson birth events referred to this branch.

Recorded on
-
- Tester
- Kit owner not identified. The Fergus(s)on Surname Project gives the kit's declared line as John Ferguson (b. North Uist) > Stephen Jarvis Bromley Ferguson 1808-1888 > George 1849-1919 > Kenneth Thomas 1889-1984, so the tester is a living male-line descendant of Kenneth Thomas Ferguson #3036.
- Laboratory result
- The project row's "d 1813" is owner-typed text, not evidence against the sourced 20 Nov 1848 death.
-
- Tester
- Kit owner not identified. Declared line per the Fergus(s)on Surname Project: John Ferguson m. Miss MacDonald > Neil 1789-1866 > Donald 1826-1914 > Norman Fergusson 1874-1938 (South Port Morien, NS).
- Laboratory result
- Neil is unlinked from John Sr #80902 in the tree; the shared R-FT93868 result with kit 457027 is the genetic case for the link (separate proposal).
