If I submit two samples to SMGF's database, how do I use the search at
http://www.smgf.org/ychromosome/search.jspx to compare them? It seems I
need to know the marker values of one of the samples to get the
matches/no matches for the other. True? I'm beginning to think I will
have to submit at least one of the two samples to a testing lab that
will tell me the results. True?

You can search for results by surname. I just put in Smith and there were
206 matches so even a common surname doesn't return so many results that you
couldn't find yours.

meaning #1 was not 29 and #2 was not 29. This doesn't mean that #1 and
#2 match each other (on DYS449), because one could be 30 and one could
be 31.
Do you see what I mean? You cannot just find the two tests that you
submitted and compare the colors that appear in the table.

Dennis, it will take a while, but you CAN figure out all the marker values
for #1, by patiently doing a number of searches. If DYS449's default marker
(29) is not a match for sample #1, try each of the other possible marker
values for DYS449 until you detemine the one that IS a match. Then move on
to the next "no match" and do the same thing.
SMGF will only allow a certain number of searches per day (50?), so it may
take a while to figure out ALL the matches for Sample #1, but when you do,
you can compare any of the other samples to that one.
Hey, it ain't a perfect system, but you can't beat the price!
