A web site about the High Stewards of Scotland and their descendants is at http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Stuart/default.aspxhttp://www.familytreedna.com/public/Stuart/default.aspx
"Around 16 per cent of all Scottish men with the surname Stewart carry S310, the same marker as direct and undoubted descendants of James V and James VI and I." See http://www.familytreedna.com/public/Stuart/default.aspx?section=results#stehttp://www.familytreedna.com/public/Stuart/default.aspx?section=results#ste
A man can prove that he descends from the High Stewards of Scotland via a $29 test for SNP L744 (R-L21).
A person who descends from the High Stewards of Scotland via a daughter can prove it by having the Y-DNA of a male relative whose surname is Stewart tested.
That www.familytreedna.com has the largest database is one of the many reasons why paying any other company for a Y-DNA test for genealogical purposes would be a mistake.
