What will your 12 marker test tell you?    Very little!    It will tell you that you are not related to another person if you do not match.

But what if you do match?    All that match will tell you is that you might be related to him.

If you don't match anyone at 12 markers will upgrading to a 37 marker test make you match someone?    No, but it will guarantee that when that match does come along, and it will, you will absolutely be related to that person.

What if that new match has a different surname?    Depending on the closeness of that match, you would still probably be related to that person.    If the match were 37/37, I would bet on it, different surname or not.

The upgrade from 12 markers to 37 markers costs less than 100 bucks.    $99 to be exact.    25 more markers for the same as or less than you spent on your first 12.    Give yourself a Christmas present and order your upgrade before 5:00 p.m. Mountain time today to give it a chance to arrive on time.

Carol and I are both volunteers to this Project with no financial interest whatsoever in your testing.    We both do, however, have an interest in seeing you all get meaningful results.
