Just a reminder that FamilyTreeDNA is having their Summer sale and it's the perfect time to test. If you have ever considered testing a patrilineal line from any your more common surnames don't miss this opportunity to purchase a YDNA test.
If you have already tested there are also upgrades available thru the end of August.
Also on my wish list of folks I'd like to see test are any direct male line descendants of Shem Cooke. This is the Shem Cooke who wrote his will in 1792 which was probated in 1796 Granville Co North Carolina. There are descendants from his son James Cook that have tested but none that I have identified from his sons William, John. Shem and Claiborne. I think my Cooke may be from son William but I don't have a known direct male from Shem's son William to compare ours too. My Brother took the BigY700 and we have those results in the Cook(e) & variation surname project at FTDNA.
