I just answered you on Facebook. Here is what I said…
If it were me, I would have him do a y67 and a FamilyFinder at FTDNA. The y67 is the DNA test you use to track a specific surname line. The FamilyFinder is what you use for "cousin matching." I would also upload his FamilyFinder results to GEDmatch (free). The yDNA results can be entered into Legacy but it is pretty much a view only. Any work you want to do with that DNA will be done on the FTDNA website and on GEDmatch. The way I track DNA matches in Legacy is by using Hashtags.

In the meantime, my father and mother passed away. The oldest member left in my fathers "McElroy" line is daddy's brother - my Uncle. He is 83 years old. I am thinking I should get him to do a DNA test. My question is: WHICH type of DNA test should he get? I am not that knowledgeable on the different types of DNA testing - but I do recall that one test is more beneficial for tracking the male line of a family. What test do you recommend?? -- Josie Flynn, RN, BSN, OCN
