My paternal great grandfather b c 1832 Cambridgeshire UK was NPE.
I've spent many years (35+) trying to trace the paternal name.
My Y-DNA results have WILSON GD 9 at Y-111 (Z57), and several WILSONs at GD5 at Y-67.
My Big-Y matches have DAVENPORTs Z-57 in the Top 4, and no WILSONs in sight.
I realize that unless folks have taken the corresponding tests, they won't show up anyway, even if they were perfect matches.
FF does not help me, either, with these names. There are no other tests I can take. (I've done Geno2 etc).
QUESTION: If I decided to allocate some resources to one of these family names (offer FF tests etc), which fork of this road should I take ? Or, as Yogi Berra reportedly said, "when you come to a fork in the road, take it".
Anyone?

PS ignore the old signature block. Apparently FTDNA has no one with the time or interest to change or delete it, and of course we can't be trusted to do it. ;-)
