OMGosh, I'm so sorry I wasn't reading Dreamwidth when you posted this! YAY DNA!
Viking! So cool.
I have been involved in genealogical genetics for a while now, and I just got some birthday money to spend, so here I go! I'm testing for a Y Chromosome (my uncle's DNA) SNP that a "genetic cousin" identified as the right haplogroup through spending more money for a "backbone" test at FTDNA. Because I match him, I'm anticipating a positive result for the same terminal snp he got, but I'm leapfrogging straight to it, since I want to preserve my funds. Exciting!
