Cathy---you are seeking a male descendant of your g g g g grandfather who has submitted his DNA sor testing.
I am also,
Chances are slim that you will discover a related line in this manner.
Of the hundreds of millions of folks in North America, only a few hundred thousand have submitted DNA.
I have been at this for years---my only match was when I begged my third cousin to submit his DNA for sequencing.
Then, we matched 63 for 67.
Another dozen "close matches" were discovered; all with different surnanmes. But the common ancestor was alive 24 generations ago.[95% probability]
Email me and I will give you some ideas on chasing the paper trail of discovering the ancestor you seek.
