There has been quite a bit said on the topic of DNA testing lately. For those who have already taken an autosomal test with any of the three main companies can I recommend that you upload your results to the wonderful FREE comparison site Gedmatch. Put it into your favourite search engine to find their own webpages and commentary from the outside. You will find you can match there with folk who have tested with all the other companies which will widen the field for you. There are several geographical origins options including ancient DNA analysis. There is a lot more you can do on the site including opening up the match lists for the people you match. They don't offer tests themselves so you need to already be with FTDNA, Ancestry or 23andme. No good for mtDNA or Y-DNA of course. You must have taken an autosomal test such as Family Finder with FTDNA. It's the main one I use now. Pat Benham
