I would recommend FamilyTreeDna.com They have a huge database and make it easy to compare your results. I've had 3 different lines tested with our Ydna. Two out of the three have really made break throughs for our genealogy. We had an illegitimacy on one and it brought us into a completely new family from the 1800's. Really amazing!

And...if you do it, I would recommend joining a surname group first and doing at least a 25 or 37 marker test. The 12 marker won't show you much of anything unless you have a very unusual surname. With one of our surnames we have over 600 matches on the 12 marker. Doesn't tell us much at all, but the 37 really narrowed it down. We're even upgrading to a 67 now.


I love genealogy DNA!

Hey, I will write your name down. As I said, I have been studying my ancestry for a while and it’s like a really great puzzle. This DNA is a missing piece for me I think.

Thanks for the information!
