I'm going to order one for me and my son and then talk one of my two brothers into getting one. That way I'll have both my parents lineages and my son will have both. (Men get Y chromosome analysis and women get mitchondrial DNA analysis.) But after one generation you start getting half again. Hmmm, as I think about it one only gets a fraction of the trail.

I'm also not sure if waiting will help. Once they get more data they can tell you more. I wonder if they do all the analysis at once and add interpretations or if somewhere along the way they will add something to what they are checking and not go back to check any completed analysis.

What does anyone know about whether or not waiting will matter?
