    1. [DNA] Family Finder's tremendous inadequacies WAS:Re: Question about 23 and me test
    2. The only way Family Finder is easier is that all of what are YESes and NOs on 23's "You have {N} Relatives in common with..." are lumped together; and you can't tell which are analogous to 23's YESes or 23's NOs without 1 by one going through the chromosome browser. And even then you can't corroborate them because of FTDNA's algorithm which gives too much weight to short segments. FTDNA's ONLY virtues are 1) storage for 25 years 2) ability to have explicit yDNA and mtDNA tests. Their operating system for the matches is so inadequate I seldom go there.

I'll probably wait to see what Family Tree does before I make a decision. As I recall, FTDNA's sale usually starts the Monday before Thanksgiving. Except for Mt-DNA information which might prove useful, Family Finder comparisons would be easier.
