So do you fill in the same yDNA values for all of the direct line males? Michele

I have documented my surname line down from my 7th Great-Grandfather EXCEPT for one circumstantial link. I have no doubt whatsoever that the link is correct, but how to prove it without resurrecting a burned courthouse & all its records? My DNA analysis, and that of the male descendants of two of my 6th Great-Grandfather's brothers are identical. Therefore, we are all proven biological descendants of our 7th Great-grandfather. In addition, we have the bonus of having proven that in our three lines, there were no "father of record" problems which become a researchers nightmare. The other two lines have complete and solid documentation. The DNA data have become important (if not critical) genealogical records. Works for me.
