Give yourself a Genetic Genealogy Christmas Gift.......... ....if you happen to be one of those folks with plenty, plenty matches on the Genetic Distance Tool on your FTDNA Personal Page and you are NOT yet tested on out to the max STRs available from FTDNA as of now....... ......111 markers should be on your personal Christmas Wish List or on your memo pad to do within the next month. No matter your haplogroup on down the road....... ......unless you have a very rare one and if you are rare you will not be one of those in the above category of having tons of matches at 67 markers tested..... ;-) ......so, you really need 111 markers tested to weed out some of those questionable matches at the lower 67-37-25-12 markers tested. For just a bit over $100.00 you can take your 67 markers tested on out to the 111 markers tested and this is a great buy and a wise investment in your genetic genealogy research. Linda

Hi All, Let me add a comment … Yes, maxing-out to 111 markers could be of benefit to you. But there also is another consideration. We of the M222 group are lucky to be supported by volunteer scientists, who help to keep this board alive and vibrant. And in return for all of their work, we should all be giving them the data that they need to better complete the M222 picture. Max-out your STRs and max-out your SNPs as that is what is needed.
