There is only one living male person surname Caperton in my family. Is there any point in joining the study if I don have 2 or 3 family members who are Caperton males?
Yes, there is potentially value for you to join testing. The reason for testing 2 or 3 family members is it “validates” the family at least back to the known ancestor. A single test could provide incorrect data 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 Capertons is related to theirs, with little doubt. If it does not match, and you cannot find any cousins to validate the result, at least your sample will sit there in the database until sometime in the future when a match may be secured.
