My Mother's Y-111

I recently upgraded the Y-DNA of one of my Gordon cousins to Y-111. This is my mother;s paternal family.

Results came in this morning.

He has one match at a genetic distance of 2 and the match is also a Gordon. The match has not done a Family Finder, but I have written him about autosomal testing and GEDmatch.

This is what FTDNA predicts about the most recent common ancestor.

He has two matches at a genetic distance of 3. Those two have the same surname, but it is not Gordon.

My cousin has twenty other Y-111 matches, none of whom are Gordons.

I shall be curious to see where this goes.
