DNA Testing recommendations?

[Phoenix]

Not entirely sure that DNA testing helps with all our brick walls. It can prove a relationship you suspect, but I'm finding it difficult with my family: masses of people piling into a town and then inconveniently dying before 1851. I have had my aunt's DNA tested and have 350 close cousins and 31k distant cousins to wade through. I'm recognising a lot of people I have already made contact with using conventional means, but it is challenging when the brick wall is two centuries ago, with a common name.

Am now hooked though, after I googled the subject & found that results are genuine if vague, that is much better than nothing (I hope)
