Thank you, I think you're probably right, I was hoping people were going to see Jerram  :)

Thanks for your replies, I can see the likeness between the Ls, but I was thinking it's not quite the same, could it be a J?

Hello all, can anyone possibly help me decipher the surname after son in law William? I know what I want it to be but I need some new eyes!

Thanks in advance,

Thank you all for your advice, I think the 37 marker test is the way to go then, and see what we get. Thanks again.

Thank you, it's the genetic distance that I fail to get my head around, it doesn't mean that if my cousin goes for the Big Y on FTDNA he'll stand more of a chance of finding someone of a closer match to him?

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Would a Y-DNA test be useful for a NPE?

Hi all,

I'm helping a cousin to try and trace his biological father. He has done the autosomal test which has been uploaded to all the various sites. We haven't got huge matches but the ones we do have should theoretically point us in the right direction. However this doesn't seem to be the case we can only seem to get as close as Great Grandparents in some cases, 2x Great Grandparents in others, and are unable to tie the various families together. I'm wondering if a Y test might help? I'm not too familiar with how they work, but am I correct in thinking they would be better for descendants further back? If it is worth doing one, which one should it be?

Thanks in advance,

Mark.
