The best way to approach it is first to decide what it is you want to find out.
YDNA - can only be taken by men and only gives the direct male line ie father, grandfather, great grandfather etc. Can be useful in helping with surname studies
mtDNA - can be taken by men and women. This gives the direct female line ie mother, grandmother etc
Autosomal - can be taken by everyone. This looks at all your DNA (albeit based on a very small sample) and is what is used to determine your ethnic\regional origins (although this is more subjective than objective as the science is in its infancy). This tests is also what is used ti find potential relatives hence its alternative name of family finder.
With apologies to everyone who may have posted something similar but this is the best explanation I have read . Thank you
Yet the problem is I reckon I would get all 3 and be broke or take out a house loan
