yDNA test if male ancestor is unknown?
I'm trying to solve a particular problem, and I'm wondering if yDNA testing would be worthwhile. I'm new to yDNA testing, so I would like someone else's input.
One of my ancestors was born circa 1890. I know who his mother was, but I have been unable to find any trace of his father whatsoever. It's as if he never existed. The children took their mother's maiden name.
If I found a male-line descendant to provide a DNA sample, does anyone think I'd be able to find a connection?
Simply joining a DNA surname project won't be effective because the children took their mother's maiden name.
