Cathie,
The four of us who were tested used the Y-chromosome test available through Ancestry.com.If you use another company or their "new" test it is like comparing apples and oranges.Ancestry seems to be backing away from the Y-chromosome test as it is not mentioned in their general information yet does appear when I go into their website as a member of Ancestry.Weird.
If your brother was tested [three cotton swabs are provided to obtain cheek cells] it would only prove whether or not he is a male descendant of George Field (1721-1785).The cost is $179.
I've yet to find a known descendant of John Field (1616-1686) who was willing to be tested.
You will get a faster reply if you email me directly.
