Hi JoAnne,
So sorry about your parents. So difficult regardless of your age and their health. In my opinion, I like the FTDNA Y-DNA test. There is a sale on now until the end of August. The Y follows the male line. There is also a FamilyFinder test that is sort of like the one on Ancestry, that will pickup cousins on both sides. On the Y, you can begin with a lower number, of markers and then increase (at another sale!) to 67. I would do at least that many.

In the meantime, my father and mother passed away. The oldest member left in my fathers "McElroy" line is daddy's brother - my Uncle. He is 83 years old. I am thinking I should get him to do a DNA test. My question is: WHICH type of DNA test should he get? I am not that knowledgeable on the different types of DNA testing - but I do recall that one test is more beneficial for tracking the male line of a family. What test do you recommend?? -- Josie Flynn, RN, BSN, OCN
