Family Testing?

How do family members get tested to see if they are a bone marrow match? Do they get the cheek swab too or blood work? Do they do to my doctor or a lab?

Also, all the AA literature I read say to start looking for a match because it can be a long process....but I have MAA....would you start? What's your opinion? I'd rather look and know if someone exist or not rather than wait till I NEED to search. I think it would help me breath better...
