Y-DNA testing is a proven scientific procedure (General)

The latest example of the use of the Welsh Patronymic System (WPS) I have found in the FOD is in the Will of Thomas Morgan of Newland of 1609. He names his son Morgan Thomas. So as a provisional guide I would say for those with Welsh names in the FOD born after about the mid 1600s an identical surname adds to the probability of a common recent male ancestor. Before this time, the use of the WPS must be born in mind.
