OK - Results - but no help.

I found two Liptrots in Wigan, and submitted the yDNA-37 test.? The first results came back yesterday.? They matched ONLY each other - one step of 37 markers. (seriously - NO other matches!) The TIP Score indicates a common ancestor (reaches 90%) about 7 to 9 generations back - in the neighborhood of 1700. which would be a good scenario toward finding a relationship to Liptrap with BigY.

EXCEPT their haplotype is I-M253.? Scandinavian.? Either we are not related, or there was a 'Viking in the woodpile' sometime after Liptrap branched off but before their two branches diverged. ...And then the Viking died and left no other descendants....as did his brothers and cousins.? I guess.

This brings me back to the Liptrot from Ontario I tested last December.? At least he was R-M269.? That was also the yDNA-37 test.? His only 11 matches were all 4-step (of 37) matches to subjects named Taylor, Hoffner, Grevois,? Ingles, Donovan, Macklin, and Georgia.? Are any of these names matches to anyone in S6881? ? I was truly hoping some Liptrot would match to me.? Would it help to upgrade to yDNA-67?? Or to test directly for S6881?
