Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation http://www.smgf.org will do 37/43 marker testing free. They do not provide results back but you can search by surname for Y-chromosome. For mtDNA you need some results to start. Have you tried inputting your marker results? It will also allow you to search the http://www.ysearch.org site as well which is the FamilyTreeDNA database.

My oldest female ancestors are Ilse Maria TEISINGT who died in 1805 and her daughter, Anna Margarethe Christine PLUMER (1773-1843). The family lived near Diepholz, Germany. A mitochondrial DNA sample was sent to the National Geographic genographic project and it came back Haplogroup K based on 12 markers. These results were uploaded to FamilyTreeDNA, tested for additional markers and showed Haplogroup K1a. While the genographic test is designed for deep ancestry, I'd like to connect to list members with similar deep ancestry to learn their German ancestor's locations from the last 3-4 centuries. To keep this thread relevant to the list, please limit posts to Haplogroup result, oldest ancestor, places and dates. Thanks.
