I did both the Y-DNA and mitochondrial DNA testing with Family Tree DNA several years ago. I was pleased with the Y-DNA results as it pretty much confirmed that a suspected male cousin, albeit a distant one, and I share a common male ancestor. However, I didn't have much luck with the mitochondrial DNA testing. A word of warning. If you do sign up with one of the DNA testing providers be prepared to be solicited with offers of upgrades, new products etc. on a regular basis Bob Lightburn On Saturday, May 17, 2014, <[email protected]> wrote: > Has anyone on this list done the DNA testing?

I've done DNA testing on Ancestry (about 1 year ago) and found several matches with current researchers which proved helpful. The results provided evidence of my varied ethnic background which was mostly Northern Europe; Sweden, German, English. I have had no bombardment with any offers, upgrades, new products, etc., on any basis whatsoever.
