Dear List Members:

Those of you that are interested in DNA Testing, and wish to join the Marcum/Markham Group, here is a letter I have just gotten from the Marcum/Markham Administrator Terry Barton.

Thomas. A 37 marker kit is $189 through the project. When you go to the order page, scroll down to find the pricing selections

http://www.familytreedna.com/DNAList.asp?Group=Marcum

Call FTDNA tomorrow and tell them that you wish your order to be done through the project and your price to be the project price.

Phone: (713) 868-1438

Here is the whole pricing structure:

Which Test: if you are trying to match to a different surname without a paper trail - I always recommend 37 markers.



If you know the surname you should match, you can probably get by with 25 markers.



If you are only interested in your "deep ancestry" or in proving that you don't share a common ancestor with a specific family, 12 markers are adequate.



I also tell folks that if they are serious about their genealogy - that they will end up with at least 37 markers.



You can go in steps, upgrading a bit at a time - or buy the markers all at once. Prices:



12 markers $99

25 markers $148

37 markers $189
67 markers $269



Upgrades from one test to the next are $49. (37 to 67 is a two step increase and is $99)

Best regards, Terry Barton

Terry:

I ordered a 37 marker Y-DNA test kit two days ago and it cost me $221.00 each. I just looked at the pricing for this same kit on the Marcum Group test Kit Price List and they are quoting $259.00 each. Did I misunderstand you to say that the kit was cheaper when ordered through your group?
