I had a Y-DNA67 test.
I have no close Y-DNA matches with my own surname!
I have very close matches with TWO other surnames!
I have several matches to COX individuals who appear connected. The closest is a Y-DNA37 distance 0.
There is a very obscure family rumor that our surname should really be COX and AncestryDNA tests of several cousins seem to support that my paternal grandfather was the product of an extramarital affair. There also is some circumstantial evidence that might support this COX connection.
But, I also have Y-DNA67 distance 1 matches with two separate individuals surnamed RICE – the differences in each is at DYS576. There is also a third RICE individual with a Y-DNA67 distance 2 match. There is nothing known of any Rice association in my family research.
This is puzzling! How significant are these matches? Especially the RICE matches! The evidence in addition to the Y-DNA Cox matches suggests, to me, more significance to a possible COX connection.
