Hi Cheri, Both of my parents are still alive and they are both from the island of Pico - at least 3 generations back. I also have brothers. If I ask someone to test DNA, and get the most information possible from both sides of the family, would I test a brother, myself, or my parents? I can only do one test at this time.
