HI Paul G, Yes, it's better joining a surname group especially if you are going to do the Y-DNA test someday. They have a price break if you join the group.
Do most people order Y-DNA or mtDNA before Family Finder? Y-DNA and mtDNA have been on the market about 12 years and Family Finder has been on the market only 2 years. The test you want to order depends on your goal. I will explain more probably on Monday as I am performing this weekend. I am borrowing a laptop.
