The Family Finder test will match you to anyone who has shared common ancestry on any of your maternal or paternal lines within the past 5-6 generations. The difficulty will be that the test cannot distinguish from which particular line (whether it be your maternal or paternal line, or your mother's maternal or mother's paternal line, etc) the matches are coming from, so it will require a lot of collaboration between yourself and the matches that you receive to figure out if they are related to you through the line that you are searching for. > > From: John STEWART <rg1915@icloud.com> > Sent: Wed, 20 Jan 2016 22:16:03 +0000 > To: Family Tree DNA Helpdesk <helpdesk@familytreedna.com> > Subject: Re: Update on Your Request {363869} > > Any suggestions > > > Sent from my iPad > > On 20 Jan 2016, at 22:12, Family Tree DNA Helpdesk <helpdesk@familytreedna.com> wrote: > > Cris P > Information Specialist I > Family Tree DNA > > > PS: Help us improve our service by taking our new customer service survey! > > John STEWART - rg1915@icloud.com - Jan 20 2016, 04:15 PM > Any suggestions > > > Sent from my iPad > > On 20 Jan 2016, at 22:12, Family Tree DNA Helpdesk <helpdesk@familytreedna.com> wrote: > > >
