DNA QUERY

Some descendants believe that due to dna testing William is not the biological son of John LAURIE and Agnes SCOTT. Suggestions put forward are

• William is Agnes's nephew
• William is Agnes's son to someone other than John LAURIE
• William is the child of a brother of John and a sister of Agnes

William's birth and baptism record index lists his parents as William Scott LAURIE and Agnes SCOTT - a copy of this certificate would be required to see if this is an index transcription error
William's marriage record index lists his parents as John LAURIE and Agnes SCOTT
William's death record index does not list parents - a copy of this certificate might provide further information

Further detailed analysis of dna results is required to determine with any certainty if William is their biological son or whether he shares any dna with either John LAURIE or Agnes SCOTT.
