The 12 marker test identifies your clan or "haplogroup". Matches of 11/12 or 12/12 indicate a common ancestor who may have lived thousands of years ago - within the range of anthrpological exploration and confirmation.

The 25 marker test identifies your "family". Matches of 23/25, 24/25 or 25/25 indicate a common ancestor who may have lived hundreds of years ago - within the range of genealogical exploration and confirmation. Thx Don Kissil
