If it's for a male named Baker, it's explained here at the top. http://www.bakerdna.net/ You order the test and pay for it (about $100) and they send a kit. You swab the inside of your cheek and put the swab back into the bottle and mail it back. It's that simple. It must be a male named Baker who takes the test because the Y Chromosome is passed down only from father to son. The Yahoo Baker Ancestors list is a list for discussion of Bakers and DNA. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BakerAncestors/ There are sites for many other surnames but the Baker test is the only one I'm familiar with.
