Lorna's Research Diary - what changed, when, sometimes why.
When you have a yDNA disconnect in a tree, those three words "New Relative Found" followed by "We found 1 new Big Y match(es) for ..." are indeed magic.
The match was with my very first DNA testing guinea pig, 2nd cousin Bill, helping out to explore our Henderson brickwalls. That was back in 2007. Since which time he had no matches beyond y25 other than our own 2nd cousin roped in to check all was kosher given the lack of yDNA matches. It was, at least as far as our shared great grandfather William.
