Three companies offer autosomal DNA testing: Family Tree DNA (Family Finder); 23andme (Complete test, was Relative Finder); and AncestryDNA. All charge the same low price. If you test at FTDNA or 23andme you get your results compared to others in a way that tells you the location on each chromosome where you match. At AncestryDNA you only get their interpretation of who you match. No chromosome and location info. All three give you your raw data and you can transfer your 23andme and/or your AncestryDNA data to FTDNA. I recommend testing at 23andme first and then transferring the raw data to FTDNA and then testing at AncestryDNA and transferring that raw data either to FTDNA. Males should still get at least a 37 marker Y DNA test at FTDNA as well. GEDMATCH also offers the ability to match your results from one company to others people who have tested at another company if everyone uploads to GEDMATCH. I have tested with all three and uploaded my results to GEDMATCH.
