I recently took a DNA test and am a direct male descendants of Abraham Pitsenberger. It seems on his page that you were looking for one. I matched with you on gedmatch one to one. But interestingly, I did not match with most others listed in Abraham's page.
My line goes Abraham, Abraham Jr, William, Peter, Pascal, Pete, me.
On a side note, thank you for all the work you've done over the years. When I first started looking into genealogy a few decades I found your work along with Walley Garchow's with a simple internet search. I didn't really have to do much myself.
Nice to hear from you.
Sadly, Wally died 7 years ago, at a relatively young age. We miss his deep research.
I'm on vacation for another week. I'll contact you when I get back. You can reach me at [email address removed] My Ancestry autosomal tests links me to about 50 people in Abraham Pitsenbarger's line, including a couple from the line of William. Although I'm registered with gedmatch, I haven't found the time yet to really learn the system there. From what you say ("a direct male line"), it sounds as though you did a Y-chromosome test. But I would not have matched you on this test, since my line to Abraham goes through two women. So I'm wondering what DNA test you took. We are fifth cousins, so our DNA marker overlap is not going to be a strong one.

Congratulations on certifying to work on pre-1700 profiles! It’s very important to read and understand the Help:Pre-1700 Profiles page. These profiles for deep ancestors are shared by many, and collaborating on them works best if we all follow the guidelines in the certification quiz.
Primary sources should always be added to pre-1700 profiles at the time they are created. If you don't have a source for a pre-1700 profile, it would be best to ask for help in the G2G forum before creating the profile.
