As I was researching a family that were from Ireland*, and there weren't that many RUNCIMANs in the Irish 1911 census, a distribution map for 1910/11 has been added (1910 because the States have 1910, but UK, Ireland and Canada have 1911).
The first set of entries included show what Irish counties had RUNCIMANs - all of 3 counties, and 12 people over 7 families/households.
A RUNICMAN search engine has also been included on the site.
It is set to only search the One Name Study, the DNA Project Portal (all projects sorry, not just Runciman), their related project diaries, the summary DNA project, and my own personal web pages.
* Anyone out there with an interest in the family of Alexander RUNCIMAN and his son Christopher (marr. Anne ROSS) from Cork?
I found Christopher's son Christopher and daughter Eveline in Islington, London in 1901 when looking for someone else.

16th: Lineage 2b created
Not yet sure if we have a glitch in the Thomas & Mary (REDPATH) RUNCIMAN line or not.
Our rep for this line is haplogroup R1b1b2 but doesn't match those participants already in that haplogroup.
The prior Lineage 2 has been renamed Lineage 2a and Thomas and Mary are now Lineage 2b.
Both supplementary and summary pages have been updated to include the new results.
Given these results, the project would really like to hear from other direct male line RUNCIMANs on any of the potentially related lines to validate this, and other signatures.
To join the project, follow the information at the Summary pages Join link.
Testing is cheaper if done via the project, and subsidies may be available for eligible candidates of particularly wanted lines.
Contact the project administrator for more information.

27th: Thomas and Jean (SIMPSON) RUNCIMAN
The ONS pages have been updated to include a few more notes on the (assumed) family of Thomas and Jean (SIMPSON) RUNCIMAN.
Still to come, further details on the lines of Alexander (marr. to MANDERSON) and George (marr. to Janet DARLING).

Stirling
Research on one William I couldn't find in England where expected in 1911 led me to an emigration record of a William, no further information on FindMyPast.co.uk.
The Canadian Archives end of the journey showed that he wasn't the chap I was looking for but did lead to a line of RUNCIMANs from Campsie, Stirling, with connections to Kirkintilloch (DNB).
End result is that the (very few) extant Stirling R*N*M*N* births/baptisms to be found in the OPR index have been included in the Name Distribution map for Births to 1854, with a page being added for Stirling (STI) showing the surname variants/date analysis.
All 18 births/baptisms, with 7 variant spellings between them, over two, probably related, families.
However, not included in the analysis for example is a variant noticed as part of this research - RUNCH. The Campsie family mentioned above appear in two ancestry.com census entries indexed as RUNCH, and not in the ScotlandsPeople census index extracted using R*N*M*N*.
So maybe the transcribers of the census got that one correct!

Lineage 1 - theoretical dna signature chart
The Lineage 1 DNA Signature Charts page has had a very, very theoretical first cut at how to join up the two genetically linked lines of William of Crail and David who was the forebear of the Wanton Walls and Earlston line.
Thomas and Jane (Simpson) Runciman
Read the intro for Thomas and Jane (Simpson) Runciman and make up your own mind as to whether or not there are two separate Thomas and Jane families or not.
Better still, if you are direct male-line descendant of any of the sons shown here as possible descendants, please follow the project join link and help us (dis)prove the theories (at least 37 markers, preferably 67).
Or if ineligible to join, ie not a direct male line Runciman descendant, try and find a candidate who is, and/or contribute to the kitty to help subsidise kits for wanted participants.

Another kit at the lab
Crossed fingers for a match with one or t'other of the represented lineages and no glitches along the ancestral paths as we now have a kit in progress for the line of Thomas and Mary (REDPATH) RUNCIMAN.
Summary pages updated to reflect the kit in progress, and to include the remaining panels of Kevin (R-8)'s results (one of two matching representatives from the line of William of Crail, and an excellent match to the Earlston/Wanton Walls lines).
Check out the Wanted! pages every so often for other documented lines where direct male line RUNCIMAN representatives are needed to test assorted theories on how the lines may, or may not, link up.
