I wouldn't rule out the possibility of relationships without trying to match
with men in more than one of the other male lines. The reported figures I've
seen estimate that 5 to 15 percent of surname lines don't reflect the
all-male Y-chromosome line because of undocumented adoptions, surname
assumptions, or marital infidelity.
