Did you do the Full sequence testing or did you just get the HRV1 and HRV2 results?

In looking at several DNA testing labs I haven't seen any mention of this. Can you explain the difference and what the importance to the individual being tested is?

Hi Frank: I did mine through National Geographic and then sent it on to Family Tree DNA. This is what I have done so far - not the full sequence but the one below it: mtDNAPlus: tests the mtDNA HVR1 and HVR2 of females and the female lineage of males, and also verifies possible Native American and African ancestry. This is the mtDNA test that includes the most number of base pairs offered anywhere: 16001 to 16569 and 00001 to 00574, for a total of 1143 base pairs. Results are placed in our mtDNA database and when 2 people show the same identical polymorphism, we will inform both parties if you have both signed the FTDNA Release Form. The customer receives a report generally describing mtDNA, the meaning of polymorphism, your differences from the Cambridge Reference Sequence and the meaning of probability between matches. Family Tree talks about on the same page the Y-DNA tests they have for the following numbers of markers: 12, 37 amd 67. I am working on trying to get my brother to do the Y-DNA test for my maiden name which is Hanlon. My mtDNA testing showed that my haplogroup puts me clearly into the celtic through my mother's line - The Y-DNA 67 can show between 2 people a common ancestor in very recent times.
