I have done both the Y and Mt dna testing. I even did an Mt of a female cousin to check my Paternal grandmother's Mt dna to see if she had any Native in her maternal genome.

Also, FTDNA doesnt do Anthro" testing. Other labs do that like dnatribes.com. I like Ftdna the best and I have used them several times for the Y and mt dna tests, but they dont to the total Anthro' to check for your?total ethnic ancestry . -----Original Message----- From: kennewickman4@aol.com To: IOWA@rootsweb.com Sent: Wed, 29 Apr 2009 9:39 am Subject: [IOWA] Fwd: Fw: DNA testing for genealogy purposes -----Original Message----- From: KENNEWICKMAN4@aol.com To: vansantd@commspeed.net Sent: Tue, 28 Apr 2009 8:58 pm Subject: Re: [IOWA] Fw: DNA testing for genealogy purposes Kathy, ? ?
