The Whitney name is a locational name which traces back to a village in Herefordshire at the time of William the Conqueror’s invasion of Britain in 1066. Since learning that, I have been interested in tracing my patrilineal line as far back as possible. A lack of online resources beyond my illegitimate fourth great-grandfather led to a brick wall. I turned to DNA for answers. Autosomal DNA was not helpful due to the number of generations involved. However, at FTDNA, I found a close Y-DNA match and was able to build his tree to show the likely connection. This pushed my paternal line back three more generations.
