Britton Group 3 traces its ancestry to the island of Jersey c 1500 or before and belongs to Haplogroup E-M35. etc. One member has inquired about Big-Y. If he orders the test, how many good comparisons, of possible genealogical value, is he likely to have? I would appreciate any suggestions from experts on this Haplogroup. https://www.familytreedna.com/public/Britton?iframe=ycolorized Lindsey

Looking at the FTDNA group results, it looks like there's at least a few people who have taken the Big-Y. https://www.familytreedna.com/public/E3b?iframe=ysnp I'd probably contact one of the admins to see what they think. There's also a message board, though I haven't been there in a while and am unable to find a link at work. Maybe someone else can send it. My grandfather and my grandmother's father were also both E, (E-M84 and E-V13) so I'd be interested in the conclusion whether to test or not. My grandfather died last year so what FTDNA has is all that will ever be able to be tested. This is jmho, I'll preface and say that my interactions with Big-Y results have been limited but from what I've seen in another project, you really need at least 2 people to test because the majority of the use is in the comparison. So if one of his other Britton E-M35's tested, that would be where the greatest use would lie.
