Why would I use it to find out more about my family?
• distant family history that goes past the record thresholds.
How can it help a Surname Study?
• put cousins in touch with each other to collaborate research.
• Set up a surname DNA Project at familytreedna.com which allows members to make contacts within the group and to look for related lines.
• Gives another ‘landing place’ for people researching your surname.
What types of testing are available?
• Mt Dna gives the mothers’ mothers’ line.
• Men can get results on all these tests.
• Women cannot get results on the Y Dna test.
How do I test and what is the cost?
• both companies are based in USA. Payment is by credit card and return shipping costs are not included in the price. Currently £20 sterling for Ancestry and Parcel post cost for FTDNA. Your card is debited on receipt of the kit and the exchange rate is calculated on that date.
