What would you do next?

For sure. I have one other fellow great grandson of Robert that already has Family Finder results. There are a couple more first cousins that I might be able to recruit. Aunts and Uncles are all long gone. The cousins are all in their 70s and 80s. As for Hugh's descendants, I am...

My bad!...

[SparkyMc]

Thanks M.

I really want the other guy to add the family finder test. My kit already has it

It is good to hear that idea confirmed (that Family Finder would help)

Great info on the 90% chance of finding 3rd cousins and 10% chance of finding 4th cousins.

lg: I have no idea how to find out? Noobie over here!

PM sent with kit number.

One last question.

What if anything can be assumed if two men have a 37/37 match on a Y-37?

Is it really as little as they simply had a common paternal ancestor as many as 1000 years ago?

[SparkyMc]

Not upset. No worries about that!

The whole 37/37 match was not great in the first place. Wrong last name! LOL!!!

[SparkyMc]

Thank you. It sounds like the Family Finder test could be helpful.

Any thought on any other further Y-DNA testing? Could any of it exclude the possiblity that the two men share a common direct paternal Great Great Grandfather?

Y-111 or the Big Y?

[SparkyMc]

So, are you saying that due to the non-match at Y-111 level, the two men are not related within a genealogical timeframe even though they have a 37/37 marker match at Y-37 and a 63/67 match at Y-67?

[SparkyMc]

Two men tested on this site to try to find out if they share a common great great grandfather.

One man has a direct paternal great grandfather named Robert and the other man has a direct paternal great grandfather named Hugh. Both Robert and Hugh had similar last names but they spelled...

[SparkyMc]

Is there there any possible interpretation of a possible relationship based on how many matches are off on each of the 3 tests?

What does greater than 7 markers off on Y-111 mean? (aside form the literal answer that there are more then 7 markers that do not match). Can anything be predicted...

[SparkyMc]

Could you possibly explain why it makes sense?

[SparkyMc]

Can anyone associated with the testing company look at this? I can PM my kit # if needed.

I have a match that is:

A perfect match at Y37
4 Markers off at Y67
Not a match at Y111?

Does that make sense to be a perfect match at Y-37 and then not...

[SparkyMc]

Thanks a million.

Sent a PM with Kit #.

[SparkyMc]

PS.

The second case I was talking about. Here is a screenshot for Elise.

The person in question is Michael. Exact match at Y-37, off by 4 markers at Y-67, then no match at Y-111....

It was kinda disappointing How do I "show" it to you?...
