FTDNA no longer offers a Y12 test. The Y12 Test tested only 12 markers and was used to place the tester in their Haplogroup The problem is that with a large population in the R1b group it was not possible to place them in a more recent population time line and give any meaning to a match. For a first time Y-DNA tester I do not see any value in testing any higher than a Y67. Once you have matches at the Y67 level then I would consider the Y111.

There has been no activity in the matches. You need to go for the Y37 or higher.
