My problem is I have a famous Yankee Name, I can trace me back to 1495 through primary sources. The problem I see when hitting the Internet Genealogy set is that if they are relatives they should a similar Y DNA match. In many cases not even close.

Don’t worry, I’m sure those famous Yankees dropped DNA all over somebody’s bloodline. ;’) One of the lines on my father’s side goes back to late15th also, but with the sizes of those families in each generation, I’d be really damned surprised if we were not related through that family. ;’)
