DNA project - good news

I am descended from Scuse's, but not paternally, so I can't join this.But I can give one testimonial to DNA testing - I did go thru the 37-marker testing for my own paternal Mabrey/Mayberry line.The results were mixed - the good news was that I am truly a Mayberry descendant from the English Mayberry's.However, there were 2 or 3 distinct branches here in the U.S., and the test was not able to point to which branch I was most closely related - I actually had close matches with descendants of both Virginia and Pennsylvania branches.Thus, the DNA testing group results showed that those two main branches had a common ancestor back in England.
