Hi David -- You can sign up for SMGF from their web page: <http://www.smgf.org/pages/coupon_request.jspx> I use FamilyTreeDNA. You can find them at http://www.familytreedna.com/products.html. I started with their 12 marker test, upgraded to 25 markers, then to 37 markers and then to 67 markers. While that spread the costs over an extended period of time, you can see that I paid a lot to get up to 67 markers. I recommend that you start with the highest number of markers you can afford.
