"An exact match has been found..."

[jkmoore]

hello. i got back my ftDNA Y chromosome 25-marker test results late last night.

i got an email saying, "You have a match!


An exact match has been found between you and another person(s) in the
Family Tree DNA database. You and the other person(s) have matched in all
loci, which means that there is a 99.9% likelihood that you have a common
ancestor."

the poblem is, i cannot tell who my exact match is... can someone (at ftDNA) please look up my kit no. (12241) and tell me who it is? i think it's the person marked as a "High Resolution Match -- One Step Mutation." is a one-step mutation really an exact match?

thanks.

FTDNA Haplogroup

My Haplogroup is most likely R1b, but I have not (yet) had the test performed on my DNA to determine this fact.

my FTDNA DYS markers:

Locus DYS# Alleles
1 393 13
2 390 24
3 19* 14
4 391 11

here's the match in question--

my direct male ancestor (legend goes) changed his surname from kirkpatrick or fitzpatrick to "moore."

a kirkpatrick fellow and i differ only on the fast-mutating markers each time by 1 allelle. we differ on DYS 458, 464a, 464b, 464c, and 464d. on all other markers, we match identically.

do our dna matches lend any creedance to the moore/kirkpatrick surname switch theory that's been handed down in my family?
