When I look at my list on the "Y-DNA - Matches" page, I'm mystified why there are so many different surnames. In fact, there are few matches. I understand that down the male line names could change for various reasons. But it sure seems that you would see a lot of the same surnames, or at least a bunch of one and a bunch of another, etc.
So, why do I see one McGee, one O'Toole, one Grant, one Carnes, and not a whole bunch of each? On the Y male line, shoudn't there be a lot of the same names?
