Mary Ellen If you are not producing enough spit, try the process in this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvD9pZ2wH4Q Lots of posts on the ISOGG Facebook page about it working for both ancestry and 23andMe. If you do get a good sample to 23andMe, hope you will transfer your results to GEDMatch (free). Curious to know why you aren't mtDNA testing with FTDNA? If it works, hope you will test at ancestry eventually. I need all the Joseph Cutts descendants I can to keep trying to triangulate to William and Paul Cutts of NC and all the working trees are on ancestry. Hope you are doing well. Went over to visit the graves at the Old Dorcas cemetery this past December. Uncle Laurence, whom you've met, went along as did his sister LaNelle (my Mom) and brother Jimmy.
