| Notes |
- I became interested in this man as a descendant with a YDNA test matches one of my BROOKS Surname YDNA Project members.
The Ledden family are of Irish origin.
Unfortunately I was unable to contact the Gentleman who provided the DNA sample as he has removed his e-mail from his account - however I am aware exactly who he is.
The match could be from outside a Genealogical time period and I would receommend a BigY upgrade.
