I had 63 done. It was overkill and a waste of money. Twelve markers are too few for most genealogical purposes, 36 or 25 are entirely adequate. At Family Tree DNA you can have them upgraded later if you have an exact match and want to determine the probable distance of your relationship to him, since they keep the test material for 20 or 25 years.
