19th: Another good match

Full 37 marker results now in for the Peruvian connection of the family of James and Agnes (HERIOT) RUNCIMAN, and there's a good match with the NZ and American representatives.

Results table updated, and reorganised slightly, to better reflect the similarities between these lines.

Are no other RUNCIMAN families curious as to whether or not there's a match with the Scottish Borders farming community?
Any of the fisher folk?

How about some of the Fife lines, or the Australian immigrants?
