I took advantage of the Father's Day sales at FamilyTreeDNA to order the Y-37 marker test to explore my deep paternal ancestry.
I don't have enough time in the day to work on the autosomal results from the various testing companies, but I have been thinking about having a Y DNA test done for several years.
I'm not expecting any surprises, but I would be interested in seeing if I match with others in the Lemaster study to confirm the line of descent. I had previously written about my paternal haplogroup here, from my test results at 23andMe.
With my paper-trail genealogy not being able to complete to my satisfaction the descent from Abraham Lemaster of St. Mary's County, Maryland. The proposed line was described here initially, but given in more detail in this Surname Saturday post. As always, I'm looking for additional information to tie the branches together.
Perhaps this Y-DNA test will help me determine whether or not my ancestor dropped out of the sky in 1804 Mason County, Virginia.
