Since you are not getting any Y-DNA matches on the male Y-DNA it might be
helpful to do a Family Finder test on a female related to the male who Y-DNA
tested. That way you might possibly genetically connect with someone who is
a female or male in the line that does not necessarily share the surname of
the male who Y-DNA tested for you.
In some cases families who have Y-DNA +mtDNA + FF tested a male (brother)
and FF mtDNA tested the mother and FF + mtDNA a sister. In this way they
have all the bases covered in the three pedigrees who all share some but not
all of their lines (maternal and paternal). We have some interesting leads
and confirmations from testing in this manner.

Could people weigh in on how to decide next steps to take to make the most
out of DNA testing dollars?
I've had a male relative do YDNA 67 testing, and the results are still
ungrouped. I haven't been tested. What's the next best step if I'm looking
for data that's useful for genealogy. Family Finder? yDNA for a another
member of the family?
Thank you for helping this newbie!
