I had my Cousin take a 67 Marker, we have 4 67 Marker matches.
I originally ordered a 37 marker and a few months later upgraded to a 67 marker.

I just talked to my second cousin and she said her brother will take test. I have ordered it and had it shipped to him. How long does it take??? I will need help to figure it out when I get results. Thank you for your help. I did order the 67

That is wonderful, I just sent you a Welcome from the DNA Group.
It should take about a week for the Test to get to him, he then swabs his cheeks and drops it back in the Mail. A return envelope will be Included. It takes about 3-5 days to get to the Lab, when the Lab receives it you will get an e-mail with a Kit Number and Password. This will take you to your Homepage, you can track the Progress there, it usually takes about 4 weeks once the kit is back at the Lab.

Good Luck
Wendy

Hello, My brother Robert Marion Edmondson did a DNA, and the surname Morris is in this line, the Kit# is 44201 thru Ancestry.com and ftdna.com, I am sad to say he just passed away on June 12, 2010 but what a great gift he gave us all. Other surnames attached is Parker, Taylor, Boon, Morris, Johnson, etc. The results seem to lean toward the Northern Ireland bunch, maybe Antrim.
I don't know much more but he did post over 31,000 names on the Morgan-Edmondson tree with Ancestry.com. Hopefully this information will help others researching these surnames. Of course there are many others but the list is too long to post on this forum.
