Can someone explain to me the benefits if I pay to have my cousin's dna upgraded to the 67 marker? He doesn't need to submit anymore dna samples does he? This is for the line of Thomas R. Loveless, the mystery man. The dna suggests that he comes from the line of Charles Lovelace but where he fits in is the big question. Jane In a message dated 7/10/2010 10:24:22 A.M.

Peace, Part of the Tree, Greg ==================================== Dear Family Tree DNA Customer Over the last several years, due to the unmatched growth of our database, numerous people have confirmed and found new connections with others of their surname, and adoptees and descendents of adoptees have even found their biological surname. These successes are due in large part to the size and quality of our database, which, with your help, has achieved critical mass. We have made tremendous progress, but we feel that we can do more.

Hey, Jane As far as I know, there isn't any benefit unless the other members of your group also upgrade. The additional markers by themselves won't give you any more information. However, if compared with upgrades for the other members of the group, you might gain some insight into the breakdown of the families within that group. And no, no other sample needs to be submitted, unless the company finds that somehow the original sample was corrupted somehow, which is doubtful. Hope this helps....
