Nell,
Depends on your goal. If you want to focus on one line only and have
access to a male relative from that line, then you would want a Y-DNA
test. If you want to focus on your mother's mother's mother's line (all
women - that one line only), you'd want an mtDNA test (which yields more

Nell,
Yes, if you have access to your parents' siblings that is the better
choice.
Since I don't know your goal, I'd advise you to do a Family Finder on the
89 year old now with this sale. You can order mtDNA on her later.
If you have the money, you could do the Family Finder on the 70 year

Yes, depending on the size of the batches, and the location of the testee's
vials, the fun should begin in 3-6 weeks!

Hi Cheri, I had my brother do the YDNA test and then upgraded it once (I
think to YDNA37 or 67?) If I were interested in chosing one of the choices
on sale, (perhaps the Family Finder) would it be considered an upgrade? or
a brand new test? Sorry...I know...I'm one of those last minute shoppers

Yes, order the Family Finder on your brother. They still have his vials in
storage, so no need for him to do another scraping.

A lot of people turn off their 12 marker matches. My dad probably has
about 1000 matches at the 12 marker level. That level means that my dad

pedigree doesn't go back to Fred Flintstone, I take my dad's 12 marker
matches off
All,
A 12 marker test is a great place to start. I paid for the 67 marker test
on my Y-DNA and didn't get even one match on the 12, so it was just a waste
of money at this point. Go with the 12 and see what you need from there.
