My cousin Jonathan Proby did 23 and me. We're trying to relate the 23 and me knowledge we have to tying our family to either Peter Proby or John Proby, MP. We did find out our yDNA marker, it is L-R44. Is there a way to use the 23 and me information to tie together in some way with existing DNA info for the Proby families?
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Proby Bright
PS: We have been to Elton and have outstanding relationships with William and Meredyth Proby.
