First, I am an adoptee and recently completed a Y-DNA67 test.
Among the results were three exact matches at the 37 level. Say two had the last name "A" and the other had the last name "B". The two "A" are from the same paternal line.
"B" had also completed a 67 marker test and he was an exact match.
My question is what type of family interaction would most likely have occurred to produce these matches.
Since the match with "B" would appear to be more recent, my assumption is that a male individual from the "A" line was most likely adopted or born into the "B" family which would more lead "B" surname. Because of the closeness of the predicted common ancestor, I would think this occurred within the last 8 generations.
Is that reasonable or am I missing something?
