Hello Rob,
That would be great!I hope you go ahead with it.All we need is one male Tighe from our branch to join and then we may be able to figure out something more about our early ancestry.I cannot participate as the project tests Y-DNA which is only passed from father to son and so I have MacNeil Y-DNA.You are a paternal Tighe descendant so you have the Y-DNA of John Tye who reportedly came from Dover, England. He is our mystery man and our brick wall.
Once you sign-up and return your kit you will be given a web page that only you and the project administrator can see.There your results will eventually be posted and you will be given the names and emails of men who are matches for you.I have had the Y-37 marker test done.It is expensive.I started with a Y-25 and then up-graded later.The Y-12 test will tell you which general Y-DNA group you belong to but the matches you get at this level may be quite distant.The Y-25 gives you matches which are closer.I am of Norse-Viking descent and my Y-DNA is very close to the reconstructed DNA signature for Somerled who was the ancestor of the Chiefs of Clan MacDonald.His DNA signature was reconstruced from that of the known descendants of the Chiefly lines.
It would be interesting to see if you get matches with any Clark men.Everything I have found indicates that John was a Tye.I can find no evidence that he changed his name from Clark. Since he died before his third child was born he was likely a young man and mystery surrounds him!
Let me know if you need any further information on our Tighe/Tye family.I have Elizabeth Cathcart's (wife of the first Tye John) and Victoria Williams (wife of our ancestor James) well back before 1800.
Vince
