Historical References
"TRISTRAM. Tristram or Tristran continued as a name in the family of Gorthy for nearly 400 years. Tristrannus witnessed Earl Gilbert s great charter to the Abbey of Inchaffray in 1200 (Inchaffray, p. 8). Between 1200 and 1220 Trestram or Tristram filius Trestram witnessed charters by the same earl (LIM., p. xxiv, xxvii, 8, 12, 64). In 1266 an agreement was made between Trestram de Gortyn and Alan, abbot of Inchaffray respecting the right of the former to have a chapel of his own at Gorthy (ibid., p. 46).

DNA
Sometimes you can run into a brick wall in your tree and you just don't have enough evidence to make that next step back in time. A DNA test can sometimes help to make a link to a particular family name if you find you share common DNA with people who have the same or similar surnames as each other. If you are lucky then you may get a match within a few generations and discover some Tristram ancestors. Additionally, the modern DNA test can give you a breakdown of your ethnic mix - you may be surprised at the results!
