Sinclair DNA SNPs Keep Changing Things

Like many families who derive their surname from a place, our family has many different Lineages. In our case, our DNA lineages don't share a common Sinclair ancestor for at least 2,300 years. In some cases, the time frame is more like 50,000 years. And yet, SNP studies are proving that many of our Lineages could have been at the right place at the right time to acquire the surname from the land they lived on or the lord who owned it.
