A combination of surname localities, in a given region, and Y-DNA distance can give, a Y-DNA Fingerprint.
Example;
Localities of the surnames, Rutherford, Ker, Scot, Ellot, Burne, and Armstrong, where they seem to come together at the Est, Liddel, and Leven, (Cumbria/Cumberland). Good part of the group referred to as Traitors of Leven, and kind of rugged region at a time were there could hide-away. Sounds like the American Hole-In-The-Wall Gang.
Want to thank Robert P. Elliott for his work on Y-DNA Distances. Because we share Y-DNA, I refer to him as my “brother german”.
As one can see that the closeness in Y-DNA distance seems to well correlated with the above mapping location.
It was brought to my attention by a James V. Elliott which has done excellent work on Y-DNA for Clan Elliot that this is the like location of the origins of the Elliot.
If one can dedicate a term to anyone, I dedicate the term Y-DNA Fingerprint, to James V. Elliott who first spotted it, and want to of course than my brother german Robert P. Elliott, for the gathering of the Y-DNA distances on the surname families.
Noted Y-DNA Fingerprint is one of two localities which I have been able to place my Y-DNA in, in Northumbria, of today’s United Kingdom.
The other by Y-DNA de (of), Norman estate surname correlation.

I have some questions in regards to my ancestors and what I may be able to do to help preserve our castle and boarders. My Name is Billie Jean Cummings daughter of Yvonne Elliott whos family came from liddesdale. My Fathers ancestors are linked back to Red Comyn who once held the thrown of Scotland. My Fathers family is recognized by the Nathan Cummings Foundation whom awards our families with grants to fight genocide. I believe with the right team work and combined knowledge we could preserve what once was our home.I am aware of the history between my parents families who once were enemies. I come from two strong bloodlines and I have a big heart and want nothing more than Peace.
