Ralph S,

I'm not David, but I'm one of the admins on the DNA project.

Since your last name is Sellars, you can take a Y-DNA test for your Sellars
line.  It will trace your father, your grandfather Sellars, your
great-grandfather Sellars, his father and his father and so on.  You'll get
a focus on that one line only.  So if you want to do that, then you'd want
a Y-DNA test.

If you want a cross-section of your ENTIRE pedigree going back about 200
years before your birth year, you'd want the Family Finder test.  It would
pick up any Sellars cousins, Portuguese cousins, Smith cousins or whatever
you have in your tree.  However, your parents are still living (or an aunt
or uncle who is a sibling of one of your parents) it would be better to
test them as they have 50% of your grandparents' DNA, whereas you have only
25% of your grandparents' DNA.

Hope this helps,
