I have to agree with MWF, I had my MTdna done abt 2 1/2 years ago, and though I eventually went all the way to FGS and tested "rare" at H10 with some common and one or two rare mutations, it hasn't helped me. I have one perfect match, and we can't find anything to show for it-if we're related it's pre 1786, and possibly pre 1400. however, MTdna is soley STR testing. I also tested at 23andme, which does not test STR's, it tests SNP's. and thought it's taken half a year to get results, they have finally started coming in, and lines that have been stalled for a decade or more are opening up. I have found a cousin who descends from a sister of my great, great, grandfather, Allan McDonald of Port Morein, N.S., my husband's ancestry of Scottish Moore's back into the early 1700's, and a number of 1500-1600 colonials, as well as a handful of other connections, some tied to my husband's New Amsterdam ancestry. so I recommend SNP testing. FTdna has started doing SNP testing, though I've run out of mad money to test with them, and so you have at least two companies to go with. since FTdna's is newer, there may not be as many people tested with them yet, I'm not sure. but I do recommend SNP testing as apposed to STR testing. you can get so much more out of it.
