From: Brian Houghton
I upgraded my test and a Mr. Derrick Noel Houghton came up as a match (not exact).
He's in "Haplogroup" R-Z284. That's different from mine. He thinks he's related to Frederic Sydney Houghton - with Haplogroup as R-M512. My Haplogroup is R-M198.
I'm not sure how Haplogroups are done - and if they have to match each other to be related.
We think there might be a connection way back - according to some trees in Ancestry.
SNPs R-Z284 and R-M515 and R-M198 are all of the same R1a haplogroup except generations separate you.
Here is the lineage R-M515 > R-Mi98 > M417 > PF6162 > Z283 > Z282 > Y2395 > Z289 > Z284
