Marion, Ancestry and other autosomal tests do not follow the surname like a Y-DNA test does. From your message, I took that as one of your goals and was suggesting that if you do test another male, you purchase a 67 marker test. Y-DNA, which follows ONLY the paternal line, is tested at marker levels: at 12 markers lots of people match, but it's so far back in time it is pretty useless (in fact, I don't know if it is sold anymore), 25 markers is only slightly better, at 37 markers some knowledge is gained, but for real questions 67 markers is better and can confirm relationships. After that, it gets into real $$$ for more complex questions. It's always best to ask the admin of a surname project, because they can tell sometimes by what you DO know, what is the most cost effective way to go. Especially with the holiday sale on right now, it makes sense to get more bang for your buck.
