I suspect it would be more accurate to say that the 37 point test will show
fewer possibilities, that is, fewer false positives. It should be more
precise and have lower chance of listing someone as a relation who isn't, or
who is further off the line.
My understanding is that the 12 point test will show a very large number of
(possible) relations, too large to be useful.
I'm not an expert, so I won't guarantee any of this!
When/if I decide I can afford it I'll probably take the 25 point test.

Pat,
If I can get my cousin, Don Chapman, Age 80+ to agree to take
the test, I will pay for it since we are stuck with our line
(William Chapman, Frederick Co., VA, 1830?). I am interested
in the 37 probably since it is supposed to show more lineage
possibilities.

So which test is everyone interested in taking...YDNA
12, 25 or 37? And also the reason why that particular
test. Thanks much. Pat Pulasky
