Aside from getting retested by another company, is there some place I can go to find out what specific mutations like "CTS9722/M5762" mean? (I'm interested in the genealogical rather than medical or genetic perspective)

I found all of the comments about Y-DNA very useful, but felt like adding a bit about LivingDNA's findings of my autosomal DNA. While I do not know much about DNA testing, I can trace most of my lineages back to the 1700s and some much further. The exceptions are all Irish which I only know...

I tested with Living DNA and am going back to ask them about this.

What do all the equations Mean? The company that did my Y-DNA test says I am I1, with my strongest matches in Scandinavia, but the results also consist of pages of symbols. What do all the symbols mean? Which ones should I pay attention to? And why? AM00847/AMM008/B65...

I am I3 too. My last known direct maternal ancestor was Charlotte Taylor, who shows up on the Miramichi River in New Brunswick about 1775. She said she was English and everything we know about her points that way.

Thank-you. I am new to this group. My paternal line is English as far back as I can trace through written records and my DNA is I1. As Living DNA's strongest matches to my DNA were Scandinavian (38%, Sweden; 32% Norway & Denmark) and there were actually more matches in France (17%) than England...
