All, I have tested with both 23andme and ftdna companies. Dr. Maurice Gleeson will tell you that ftdna has more people tested and therefore more possible matches. I have found some new relatives on 23and me, but all my family test subjects have been people who test with ftdna. I find their system easier to understand and better for comparisons. I have had my mother tested, for example, and when her great grandchildren are born it will be possible to see how much they match her. A great gran is on average 12.5% dna to a child, the same amount as a first cousin. Since it is a random process by which we are created, the amount by which we match varies. One of my cousin matches is 758 centimorgans and another is 1030 centimorgans . ( No, I am not rushing to the hospital the minute a baby is born, even if I would like to do so.) Anne in Ottawa

Anne I can just picture you at the bedside, all smocked and masked, with a Q tip in your gloved hand. Vi > All, > > I have tested with both 23andme and ftdna companies.
