Forest of Dean FHT Forum - Y-DNA results for FOD Morgans https://forum.forest-of-dean.net/ Connecting Forest of Dean Researchers World-Wide en Y-DNA results for FOD Morgans (reply) 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.

DNA in tracing our ancestors. I would be happy to share my DNA results so they
can be compared with others.

I would certainly not restrict your communications on the subject with just
other Morgans as we all know that being born out of wedlock was very common in
the Forest and many surprises that we never imagined about our ancestors come to
light.

The following is part of a post I made last January on this board
http://www.forum.forest-of-dean.net/index.php?mode=thread&id=1885#p1885

The Y-chromosome element of DNA passes from father to son basically unchanged
over the generations.  I have just discovered that I have a match of 25 markers
out of 26 with a male person with the surname FITZPATRICK a match of this
resolution indicates that the two men share direct paternal line ancestry
statistically in fewer than 12 generations.

I never expected to match my DNA with another WATKINS except for a few
generations back as my male line was broken with my great-grandfather Joseph
Watkins being born out of wedlock to Esther Watkins and a father unknown. Joseph
adopted the Watkins surname.
