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.
