Yeah, that's why I wanted the Y-DNA tested as well - it's interesting to have a general idea of where an ancestor came from many millennia ago.
Don't you want to test aDNA as well? aDNA is more likely to disappoint though - with Y-DNA you just get a haplogroup, but aDNA can turn up any African or whatever other unknown admixture one might have...Hmm, i might consider getting a y-DNA 67 or something similar. The origins of my direct paternal line are a mystery at the moment. It would be nice to firstly run the chance of getting a close match and helping resolve that line, and secondly to go into finer detail of my y-haplogroup (the sub-groups), for example from 23&me i know that i'm I1, not I1d, so i'm in one of those numerous AS clades that is typically more common in southern Scandinavia relatively speaking, combined with my paternal line coming probably from north-east England that makes me think it's probably Anglian rather than Norse, but i might get some finer detail from a specific y-DNA test.
Do you want to know what I'm expecting - this below (it'd be a good {European} result, but very, very boring):@Albion
Looking forward to finding out your Y-DNA . Expect R1b and you might be surprised i guess. The problem is that you might find you want to upgrade after that anyway, given that there are three major groups of R1b in NW Europe & Britain, geographically distinct but overlapping. Good thing about R1b is that you will never fall short of information in the coming years. It's massive. (That's if you are R1b).
