Family Archeologist
Mike Arbuthnot of the United States and his kinsman have appeared as DNA cousins through matches in Myheritage and AncestryDNA.
In 2005 Mike went down in a MIR submersible seven times to explore the Titanic with director James Cameron. Mike, on the left is a DNA match from my paternal Gordon side of the family. He’s an archeologist and professor and has done multiple TV documentaries such as “Last Mysteries of the Titanic” 2005, “Titanic Adventure” 2005, “Secret Worlds” 2010, “Found” 2017, and “America’s Lost Vikings” 2019. Mike travels a lot for work but we have managed to connect.
