I'm curious as to if anyone can help shed some light on a question that's been bugging my family for years. The farthest back we can trace our family records-wise is to a man named Aaron C. Grover, born in Cuyahoga Co., NY in 1802. For the longest time, my dad and most of our family assumed that he perhaps had been a criminal and simply taken a new name as we could find no records beyond his personally--no parents, siblings, etc. Just his marriage, children, and one record where he filed for bankruptcy in New York.
Recently, I came across this website (https://www.worldfamilies.net/surnames/grover). It compares paternal DNA between separate lines to attempt to find a genetic link. Someone, not anyone I am aware of, who also traces their line back to Aaron C. Grover sent in a DNA sample, and from what the y-results tab shows, it appears as if there is a genetic link between Aaron C. Grover and the line that traces to Thomas Grover (b. 1514). The tricky part here is that we have no idea how the lines link up.
If anyone could maybe help try to find this missing link, it'd be quite welcome. Aaron's mystery is something that's bugged my family for a good few generations now, and it'd be nice to be able to figure out how everything fits together.
