One also needs to be aware of the Welsh patronimic system if ancestors moved to the FOD from Wales. My nearest DNA matches are Americans whose surname is Lewis. In the Welsh patronimic system, someone called Morgan Lewis could call his son Christopher Morgan. However, if his brother decided to use the Norman system and adopt Lewis as his surname, then his son could be named John Lewis. However, John Lewis and Christopher Morgan would have the same Y-DNA as would all their subsequent male descendants.
