I'm confused about DNA--actually I know NOTHING about it. If I have one 
of my brothers send in their DNA do we have to select one family for 
DNA research? I have three or four different families that I am 
researching and the DNA would help, but don't want to pay for each 
family because I hear it is expensive. How do I get started? Thanks, 
everyone.
