The same goes for anybody ordering from any other commercial site . Also (unless they've changed) Ancestry only reports values for 31 of the first 37 YDNA markers that are considered by DNA experts as important for comparison purposes. I found that out when a cousin of mine from another surname line ordered a YDNA test from them. When he sent me the results, I noticed the 6 missing markers. To get the other 6 markers would require buying an upgrade. Gary Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
