Even More Fun with DNA

[J Ross]

As I plan for future tartans ... Segue:

I'm looking for advice from those with experience using FTDNA, AncestryDNA or Geno2.0.

I have a paper trail to my immigrant ancestor from Angus Co., Scotland 1695. I'm not interested in finding 4,000 cousins necessarily and the paper trail has run cold. As I wait for old parish records to added to ScotlandsPeople I thought of purchasing a DNA kit.

Would any of the existing tests be able to help me gain information on whether my line might be a Ross of the Highlands or a Hawkhead Ross? My thinking would be that if I trigger Irish ancestry I might be closer to the Rosses of the O'Beolin line. If I trigger Norman/NE I'm likely closer to the Pitcalie line, 'de Ros'. Most likely I'm somewhere in between like a blacksmith who thought the Surname Ross might bring better business, but it nice to focus on something bigger. Are any of the tests that specific?

Anyone have anything good to say about ScotlandDNA? That might be the most specific about my needs, but people trash it's reputation.

Thanks for reading and any guidance.

Push comes to shove, my oldest female ancestor is a Fraser. Imma snatch up that tartan.
