Carrie, Ancestry.com uses the Sorenson lab for its testing. That lab uses a different protocol for reporting results, so that results at certain markers have to be adjusted to be able to compare them to our FTDNA results. If you will send me the Ancestry results, I can do the conversion and then post a partial pedigree for your brother to our Patriarchs Page and the results for the markers that are the same as those tested by FTDNA to our Results Page (there is not a complete overlap). However, from the search I did at Ancestry.com, it appears your brother's haplogroup is E1b1b and we have no other participant with that haplogroup. Thus, almost by definition he is not related to anyone in our project's database. The E haplogroup is relatively unusual for those with Western European roots. Out of our 50+ participants we have only two of the E haplogroup, and they belong to the subclade E1b1a. It is always desirable to confirm the haplogroup and haplotype of a lineage by testing more than one individual. In this case, it would be best to test one of the other Clark Co. branches of the Bower family, so as to eliminate the possibility of misattributed paternity somewhere in Adam's line (including Adam himself).
