I told my mom about this and she says that's not him because of the spelling of the first name. And Mom has recently passed away. But, the time line fits ever other thing I know. I even had a picture of Lin, but nobody seems to know if he had any siblings or children. :(

Answer 2

I noticed that you don't have an autosomal DNA test, and that your y-DNA test was a y-37. If you can afford it, you might want to upgrade your y-37 to a y-67 (which is more precise) and you might want to get an autosomal DNA test. 

With the y-67, you can get pretty precise with determining how recent your common ancestor with a match is, and the y-DNA follows along your father's line only. 

The autosomal DNA looks at your DNA that is not y-DNA or mtDNA and is a more popular test, so you're likely to have more matches. You'll also have to do more work on them to determine how you relate to them, but it's none too hard to figure out how your matches relate to each other, especially if they're on WikiTree, and then figuring out from there how you relate to them. The process you'd be using to do this is genetic genealogy.

Best of luck, Mike.
