Fay, welcome to our group.

DNA testing puts people into a 'halotype', which helps people find their ancestors (with a bit of luck!) However, it only works down the male line, so you would need a brother, uncle, etc to get tested to help you use this to find your ancestors.

When we ask for your earliest know ancestor, that might be your father or grandfather, or earlier.  This helps others who are searching lines close to you to net in, and share information.  The more we have, the better the chances of finding a match.

Let me know if you need any assistance using the website,

Yours aye,

William

Fay,

Where your ancestors based in Jamaica? If so, where? It does help if you know approximately where people lived.
