Cheri Thank you for your quick response to my question. I purchased the kit before I joined the group. I was told that a Male family member would give me better results, thus my brother. I will have to take the test now since I'm the last living member of my family. I'm confused about which test to order and I see there is a sale. If you could help me select the right test I'd be most happy to do it. I read the post everyday execpt for the 21/2 months I was in Hawaii taking care of my brothers affairs. I learn something new everyday thanks to the postings. Thank You all and God Bless You and all the work you do Aloha! Carolyn

Other sources of DNA - hair, teeth, envelopes, stamps....they are technically possible to extract DNA, however the success rate if so low that FTDNA won't do it. They've tried in the past (years and years ago). They just created disappointment :( Why did you want to test your brother with Ancestry? Why not you or other siblings?
