Listers,

I would be glad of some advice. The situation is that I and my third
cousin
match 23/25 and are both R1a Haplogroup, mine confirmed and his
surmised.
Now if I have to pay for the tests myself which is the optimal plan.
Potential candidates are, a brother and/or son of the third cousin, my
son,
a fourth cousin of mine (this take us back one further generation, i.e.
1767
rather than 1797) or a potentially related cousin. The latter two have
been
reluctant to agree to testing and so I would have to pay. Testing which
of any of these
individuals would have the greatest pay off? And which tests, just Y
plus or
also Haplogroup tests.

Thanks for any suggestions.
