I'd suggest that if one is going to have a Y-DNA test done then FTDNA which does most of the testing and sets the standard for sets of markers used. Here's their link: http://www.familytreedna.com/Default.aspx?c=1 I have a group with some 53 Y-DNA Cousins tested. The only problems have been with tests that were done by non-FTDNA companies. Sometimes "free" can be very costly... Here's my group link to our Johnstons in Poldean: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/JohnstonsInPoldean Good hunting, Cliff.
