Are you a male (or know one) with the surname Dale and want to find common paternal line ancestors? The way to do this is via Y-DNA testing. Right now FamilyTreeDNA have a special until 26 Jul on their basic Y-DNA37 test or their Family Finder (autosomonal) Y-DNA12 test - both of which represent good value in my opinion. There is a Dale surname project on FTDNA for researching Y-DNA results. Right now there are only 23 members so a few more would be appreciated to try and track things down further. Cheers, Richard.
