I will invite you to some results to see what you get. I personally am very enthusiastic about Ancestry DNA and have "sold" maybe a dozen people on it. I am not affiliated with Ancestry in any way other than being a long time subscriber.

I suppose I could sign out of Ancestry and then check on the sale but I don't know if I would get any more info. Does this include any sort of Ancestry account? I have been trying to buy a Gift sub for a cousin but have had no luck at Ancestry becuase I won't buy without knowing what is included. I tried to buy at FTDNA but they refuse to sell me a test because I have been tested. I was finally able to add a test to my cart after a lot of trouble but, like Ancestry, I don't know what I am getting for the price. FTDNA has a better price but exactly what kind of test is it? It says it is Family Finder but I bought that so long ago that I don't know what it includes or what it requires if anything. None of the usual sites seem to have much info on what is included in these Sale tests so, I suppose I will wait for another sale and try again.Barbara Riblinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14847478386792127352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-7736661479363537542017-04-25T13:21:19.137-06:002017-04-25T13:21:19.137-06:00I have used other DNA labs, such as "FamilyTr...I have used other DNA labs, such as "FamilyTreeDNA"and "23andMe" for atDNA, mtDNA and YDNA testing, to collect information about my ancestry and family relations. While I found FamilyTreeDNA to be very thorough, it appears that one must have an advanced degree in genetics to understand the results and it's very difficult to get anyone from their company to interpret the results. I have found AncestryDNA and 23andMe to be very user friendly in their results. Why doesn't AncestryDNA offer mtDNA and YDNA testing? Is there anything in the works for such future testing or are they going in another direction?moguhogushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121700500979375363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-12973783581280388692017-04-25T11:13:56.747-06:002017-04-25T11:13:56.747-06:00And how long will the $79 buyers have to wait to s...And how long will the $79 buyers have to wait to see any results? Are they generating more orders than they can handle? They told me six to eight weeks. FALSE!D. C. Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00475868388213027780noreply@blogger.com
