I would appreciate advice as to possible further testing. At present I see no need. I'm mtDNA hg V and have over 1000 HVR1 matches but on HVR2, one of the mutations is shared with no one. Most people don't seem to bother with HVR2 tests. I plan to continue waiting for matches rather than getting Full Maternal test. The earliest maternal line ancestress is Elizabeth Stevens born 1793 NC. My late husband's ydna, 12 markers, matches no one, so of course neither do our sons -- tested for more markers, so we will continue waiting on matches there. FTDNA indicates likely R1b1a. Their Family Finder results do reveal names of people who match my husband's family names. I was surprised to see their FF chromosome chart with me just appear as total, with almost unnoticeable breaks. My paternal line is my main interest, but I must wait for men willing to test. My father died when I was 11, and the few male cousins and half-cousins moved away from our area many decades ago, circa 1940. The McHaffie name (earlier McKilhaffie) is found in Wigtown Scotland for many centuries, and some of those who have tested are I2a2b yDNA haplogroup. Wigtown records are extensive, especially for the 17th century which was a time of religious persecution which involved my McHaffie ancestor of oral tradition who is found in many court records. I have encouraged my McHaffie second cousins whose families moved to west coast in 1930s to take the ydna test. I'm satisfied with my general research, typed 24,000 people in charts, online at worldconnect, and do have a couple of great FF matches that have made the tests fully worthwhile, but it looks like waiting is my best option. I often take a look at FTDNA I2 ydna results, and also the nearly 5,000 tested in the FTDNA ScottishDNA ydna list. I've appreciated the excellent advice given in this list, and from the beginning have kept large accounting sheets with all major FF matches, and nearly all matches of 4cm or over. It is now fast and easy to keep these sheets updated and I like being able to tell at a glance what dna cousins match at specific spots on each chromosome. I've also compiled a list of my 4th great-grandparents (many are mid-1700s) which I send to the stronger FF matches (after sending to all in March 2012 yielded few replies). It has some unknowns, but not a great many. I think the lack of tested people sharing of even surnames is the biggest problem. Any suggestions, or information as to possible forthcoming tests will be appreciated. Mary Lou McHaffie Ramsey
