Barb, FTDNA is the only company now. Y-DNA37 should be fine to determine which line you belong to in a surname project. Additional markers usually don't offer much, but there is no blanket statement. It depends in every case.You can always upgrade later, if needed. The current sale prices are very good. FTDNA usually has a summer sale, too. And often a guick flash sale at other time - sometimes for DNA Day.
