Re: DNA Testing-23andMe and FTDNA Databases (Tanya Whitaker) ) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Sat, 15 Jun 2013 14:22:34 -0400 From: "Tanya Whitaker" <tmmw025@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [IRL-CARLOW] DNA Testing-23andMe and FTDNA Databases To: <irl-carlow@rootsweb.com> Message-ID: <001101ce69f5$4f4ddd10$ede99730$@com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="Windows-1252" Thought I would share the following, which is a better deal than the sale price offered by FTDNA. There is another company 23andme that offers the same test for $99. They also give you information on medical tendencies. Because of this, your matches are kept anonymous at first and you have to send them an invitation to share, so you don't get as many replies as with FTDNA. In addition, there is an advantage. Once you test with 23andme you can download your raw data. You can upload the raw data to FTDNA (they take out any medical-related information) for another $99. So if you do it this way, you can find matches at both companies for the same price FTDNA charges to test directly. And although you have fewer people sharing genomes with you at 23andme, their database is about 5 to 6 times larger. Also, I looked on the website and if one orders more than one kit there is a 20% discount for each additional kit. https://www.23andme.com/ Tanya ************ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to IRL-CARLOW-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
