Y-DNA Testing
I would be very interested to know if any male with the surname Peene has had a Y-DNA test.
I have been so tested and the records of the company which carried out the test show that the country which has the closest match to my haplogroup is the Netherlands, so I am hopeful that my surname Payne is derived from Peene.
All my ancestors named Payne come from London, where it is possible to see from the records that the name of Van Peene in many cases changed to Payne.
I would be grateful for a reply.
