I only did my YDNA and have had all kinds of results. Found relations and then the connections via paper trail. Its been a positive experience. I also did my Brother in Law's. Also a positive experience, His has only brought a couple of "hits" but still a great experience. Of course its hard to match when no one else in your group gets tested, and it is like fishing, Perhaps you have to have a genetic leaning to get tested to get out and get tested.
