re: #327 wheat-dogghazi

If you wanted, you could take something like a Y short tandem repeat test at FTDNA, and find other men with whom you share male ancestors.

You could also take the mtDNA full sequencing test, to see if you pick up others on your mothers’ deep ancestry. I’ve not done that, though someday I think it would be interesting.

There’s also the autosomal tests, which have a lot of YMMV postings about them.

For me, I’ve been working on the paper side, rationalizing my deep nordic ancestry. I think I finally decided that anybody with a birth year below 4 digits probably is too far back to be truly in the pedigree. ⚉
