They take the DNA results from Ancestry, FamilyTree and 23and Me. It is free. You can also see the individual chromosomes graphed there and your matches.

Given her age and tendency to dehydrate, we've ordered the autosomal DNA kit from FamilyTreeDNA, which uses a cheek swab rather than spitting into a cup (or whatever), plus they keep the DNA for many years, in case new tests become available. She hasn't done hers yet, but I just did the same test and sent it in yesterday. Anyone have any idea how long I'll be waiting for my results? Obviously we won't have hers until after she tests. :-) > > Meanwhile, given the feedback here about how many more matches one can get doing the Ancestry DNA test... I think I know that I can migrate results from Ancestry to FamilyTreeDNA, but can it work the other way? Or if I want the benefits of having my DNA available at Ancestry, do I also need to do an Ancestry DNA test? And if I do, will I learn anything different from the DNA itself, or the advantage is just that my same old same old DNA will be usable on Ancestry? > > Obviously still a newbie at this, LOL! > > Karen > karen@mtpinos.com > > > ------------------------------ >
