Sandy, My Taylor Line No matches at all. (37 bit) My Fink line no matches at all, Darn! My matrilineal Line many matches ( just use the hi resolution only) but none I can verifiably connect Family finder lots of matches but unable to verify a match Doing family finder with my uncle and another cousin to see the results, the usefulness of this still up in the air! My Wife's THOMPSON line no matches Bumpus 67 chromosome matches have a tentative connection ALLEN 67 chromosome match (twice) with HULBERT, kind of disproving the Indian Ancestry but not quite haven't done the research in Eastern states to make the connection to that family Winingers/Ratcliff disproved the indian heritage for several of the branches (matrilineal) I am hoping the rest of old world ( Europa- Germany) gets on board with the DNA so we Americans can connect to the old world families And more FINKs get tested! LOL! Sheldon, Congrats on your success.!! YES!!! I would suggest 1st doing a 37 DNA if no matches why waste the money to do 67 at first! if there is a perfect match or near perfect with others with 67 then spend the money to upgrade from 37. Don't waste money on 12 Y-dna ( too many irrelevant non matches) do the 37 bit 1st then do 67 IMHO.
