Why wouldn't you submit DNA?
I've submitted for both mother and father. Can't wait to see results at National Geographics Page.

I have. One can learn alot about genetics from the N.G.
site for the Genographic Project. The analysis results
for my sample revealed that my male ancestors over
the last few thousand generations migrated over three
continents. Also I learned about Short Tandem Repeat
polymorphisms. I will probably also do my female line
of ancestry, which uses a different kind of DNA.
The source URL below is a paper published earlier this
year. It reports that at least 78,590 participants had
their DNA analyzed, and that was just the mitochondrial
DNA used to track maternal ancestry. (I have not seen
figures on analysis of Y-chromosome DNA used for
tracking paternal ancestry.)
