Having the most participants to compare ranks high on my list. Ancestry and FTDNA test different markers and so the results are not comparable. If you test at ancestry, the results cannot be compared to the results at FTDNA. Also if ordering from FTDNA, join the Jackson group to place your order instead of ordering from the Home Page. There's a small price break if you order through the Jackson Group. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
