Please help me to reason this out:
We have a surname in common. Our recent ancestors are from the same town in Italy. I always assumed that we were distant cousins and it was just a question of finding our common ancestor. And then he was tested by FTDNA.
He's R1b1.
I'm J1.
Can we possibly be related or are we of two families who merely share a surname?
Thanks in advance,
Alan
