It is a good deal at FTDNA, as the special is $119 for both the 37 marker Y-DNA + mtDNA. The normal cost for both is $258(?). This test covers both the paternal, and maternal side. The special pricing is ONLY for new participants, NOT for existing members.

Thanks, Mark, for the tip on the reduced price for 37-marker DNA testing at FamilyTreeDNA.com. I just invited 2 other IRONS men to join those of us who are already in the IRONS DNA project. Marty Irons Goshen NY k2mi@frontiernet.net findagrave.com contributor since May 2007 member, Irons Y-DNA project at familytreedna.com May all your ancestors YELL at you, SCREAM at the top of their lungs, telling you how and where to find them. My kin must have been A.A. members - "Ancestors Anonymous".

I should have also mentioned that the test kits have to be ordered by June 24 2009 and paid for by June 30 2009, so there is a time frame according to the notice I received. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marty" <k2mi@frontiernet.net> To: <nyorange@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, June 13, 2009 10:53 PM Subject: [NYORANGE] reduced price DNA testing > > Thanks, Mark, for the tip on the reduced price for 37-marker DNA > testing at FamilyTreeDNA.com.
