The results of my paternal haplogroup tested at 23andMe determined that I was a part of haplogroup I1
I find it interesting that the highest frequency of this haplogroup was found in Scandinavia. Paternal haplogroup is passed down from father to son, so somewhere way back there I have an ancestor from northern Europe. With my dad being tested, he should also be in the haplogroup as well.
Only males have the Y-DNA haplogroup, but if females have their brothers or father’s tested they can find the haplogroup associated with their surname.
With my direct male LeMaster genealogy not being a definite connection to Abraham Lemaster of Charles Co., MD, I would be interested in seeing how my DNA compares with others who have a paper trail genealogy back to Abraham.
