Thank you Nel. I will be paying by credit card. It has been suggested that the kit be sent to someone who can assist my uncle with the process. How far back would a 37 marker test indicate? I am starting to understand the DNA process better, but still might need help in deciphering the results. I don't understand the mutations.

How far back would a 37 marker test indicate? I am starting to understand the DNA process better, but still might need help in deciphering the results. I don't understand the mutations. ** The test itself doesn't indicate anything - it's just a bunch of numbers. It's only when you match to someone else, depending on the number of mutations, does "how far back" come into play. We'll worry about that when we get there, OK? Nel
