Anne, I can highly recommend the 37 or 67 Y chromosome marker test at Family Tree DNA (FTDNA). National Geographic uses them. We have over 200 donors in the Davidson Project now, and over 700 donors in the Brown Project. By the the way, if your surname has a "project," you should join via that project (that will give you the lower "group rate" at FTDNA).
