Hi, David. I know of 4 males who have tested their y-dna who have pedigrees back to James Hansford Forrester of Beaufort, SC. One has also tested his autosomal dna and I wanted to ask if you have tested yours? I manage 5 of the DNA Surname Group Projects at FTDNA, and all but one of the 4 are members of my Fortune group. The y-dna results page for the Fortune site is public. Email me if you would like to see the charted results, and if you know of a male Forrester in James Hansford's direct line of paternal descent who could test. Thanks, Lynda Moseley
