Please check our testimonials page at http://www.ftdna.com/testimonials_home.html as well as the video with several DNA Surname project coordinators at: http://www.ftdna.com/videoaudio.html The press also featured some of the successes: http://www.ftdna.com/inthenews.html You are also welcome to initiate a thread at our Forum - http://www.ftdna.com/forum.html where people who have tested can be more specific in answering to you. Just go to the "DNA and Genealogy" section, register and start the thread. Be as skeptical as you wish and let it go. E-mail me anytime! Max Blankfeld max@familytreedna.com
