I took a autosomal DNA test August 2017 using the Ancestry kit
This covers the Andrews and not the Pritchett lines.
Recently I did further tests using FamilyTreeDNA for Y-DNA and mtDNA.
No surprises, it seems to match the research I have to date.

OK, September 2018 Ancestry refined their calculations.
Thus the revised estimate.
Packing away my Yarmulke and Viking helmet.

Autosomal DNA

 Ancestry provides an Autosomal DNA test.
This covers all family relationships.
Ancestry provide the maps above and identifies close matches (if the person so desires)
In my case several closer cousins appeared, as did more distant relatives I have contacted in my research.
I have made some progress in pushing the tree back further into the past.

Y-DNA and mtDNA

 Y-DNA and mtDNA are additional tests to identify your paternal and maternal lines respectively.
i.e. my fathers's father's etc and my mother's mother's etc.
In very general terms it can identify the migration path back many thousands of years.
No new known or near relations appeared among many connections

My Haplogroup is R-M269

 My paternal line is..
Me..William Andrews..Albert Andrews..James William Andrews..John Andrews..Thomas Andrews ..???
Thomas came from Dorsetshire, in and around Cranborne.
"...This is a very common European haplogroup that came out of Africa about 50,000 years ago.
It moved through the Middle East and Central Asia to Europe in the last 10-20 thousand years...."
Google the Haplogroup for a wealth of information.
mtDNA Result.

 My Haplogroup is H15a1

My maternal line is...

Esther came from Rossshire in the Scottish highlands
"...Mitochondrial haplogroup H is a predominantly European haplogroup that originated outside of Europe
 before the last glacial maximum (LGM). It first expanded in the northern Near East
 and southern Caucasus between 33,000 and 26,000 years ago, and later migrations from Iberia
 suggest it reached Europe before the LGM. It has also spread to Siberia and Inner Asia.
 Today, about 40% of all mitochondrial lineages in Europe are classified as haplogroup H...."
