Maher Matters 
Paul, I again thank Lyn McMullen for his guidance. I’m still really at the beginning of things. Price might be the deciding factor between choosing one or another company. Family Tree DNA’s site says that it is the one most genealogists use. A combo 12-marker Y test with a mtDNA test is $169, but you would need to upgrade the Y part, which will then begin to really add up. Moving to 67 markers is another $200. Their basic Family Finder test is $99, as is the one from “23 and me”. Family Finder does not pinpoint areas of Ireland, however, just clusters the Ireland/Wales/England area as “Orcadian”. National Geographics’s Geno-2 is $200. Thanks for writing! – Janet
