Some surname projects are beginning to post female results. By nature the results are more difficult to understand and post than the male data. The HILL DNA PROJECT has not started posting those results and we will probably wait until there are more participants. In the meantime, participants (just like participants in the male test) can log on to FTDNA and see their matches. I honestly cannot tell you what the "success rate" of the female testing is in general, but just like the beginnings of the male testing, it takes participants to make connections. It is very similar to getting results from a Discussion List, you have to post to get results. In the beginnings of the HILL DNA PROJECT (under the direction of Ray Hill), it took the generous help of several HILL volunteers who have been doing HILL research for many years to get initial participants involved. Your question is a good one, and inspires me to look around at some of the other DNA Projects and see how the female testing and level of participation is going.
