I am looking for Hoods who have had yDNA or autosomal testing. My father was adopted in 1930 in Detroit and I am trying to locate his birth family and ethnicity. My brother's yDNA results recently became available and FamilyTreeDNA has assigned us the same lineage as a Joseph Hood who originates - with no dates - in Armagh, Derry, Ireland (Wikipedia puts Armagh and Derry quite a distance from each other, so I don't know how accurate this is). We also match 36/37 markers with Orin Delbert Hood (1908 - 2009) of Massachusetts. I am currently awaiting a response from Mr. Hood's keeper of his DNA.

I have tested had ancestry's autosomal DNA testing done as well, and we all know how horrible the tools are for researching our matches. If you've had either testing done and are willing to share information with me, I'd really appreciate your help. I'd also being willing to slog through 60+ pages of matches to find you. Thanks so much.
