There is only one living male person surname HILL in my family. Is there any point joining the study if I dont have two or three family members who are HILL surname males?
Yes, there is potentially value for you to join the study. The reason for testing two or three distantly related cousins is that this validates the family at least back to the known common ancestor. A single test could provide incorrect data for the family if there is an unknown adoption or a false paternity somewhere back in the past. If you alone take the test and it matches others in the study, you will have learned that your branch of the HILL family is related to theirs, with little doubt. If it does not match and you cannot find any cousin to test to validate the result, at least your sample will sit there in the database until sometime in the future a match is secured. Top Q14.
