Specifically I AM SURE that my great great grandmother on my mother's side was of Irish ancestry and equally AS SURE that my father's father is a Cherokee! Well when I got my results from ancestry I was reported as less than 1 percent native american, and none of my european ancestry was Irish! <br /><br />Not convinced of Ancestry.com accuracy I did the free upload and free 1st 20 matches from Family Tree DNA and VIOLA one of my first two matches is of total Irish ancestry, and a few down show North Carolina/Virginia area which is traditionally Cherokee Nation. Whilst DNA is DNA ancestry.com racial break down information was ALL WRONG for me!<br /><br />You can transfer your raw data to FTDNA using this link for free https://www.familytreedna.com/autosomalTransfer?atdna=mGuGbpp1PgJxZC6kBS9UEg%3d%3d<br /><br />Please do tell if the ancestry information is more accurate with FTDNA that with Ancestry.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16566741618533552300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773058005679938889.post-55831883097797291512013-10-23T23:01:20.353-07:002013-10-23T23:01:20.353-07:00Hi CeCe,

I'd eventually like to do the FTDNA Family Finder test as well, but I don't know whether I should transfer my 23andMe raw data file or send a physical DNA sample.<br /><br />I have a couple of questions. If two companies independently analyze my physical DNA samples, would they come up with EXACTLY the same raw data file? Would there be any difference in my Family Finder results if FTDNA created their own raw data file instead of importing it from 23andMe?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16629460857082654394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773058005679938889.post-66357984076373289572012-06-09T21:40:18.382-07:002012-06-09T21:40:18.382-07:00I have neither 23andme or FTDNA.

You could create a new separate account to do so, but it is probably a waste of money since FTDNA is only using the SNPs from 23andMe that overlap with their FF test and then applying their FF algorithm to those. I would imagine that only no-calls could result in slightly different results between the two. Some are trying it anyway, so I will wait to hear their reports before I strongly recommend against doing it.

The transfer option will not appear in your account at all, Initially, it did, but FTDNA has since fixed the glitch. <br />To clarify - For those who don't have FF, but have only the v2 file from 23andMe - you can upload your v2 data to FTDNA for $50. They will then deem that it is incompatible with Family Finder and provide you a coupon code to order a Family Finder test for $109 + shipping, so v2 customers will receive new Family Finder tests for $159 after verifying to FTDNA that they have tested at 23andMe by uploading the v2 file.Your Genetic Genealogisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14696248341534125135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773058005679938889.post-41295961033465170582012-02-02T07:24:00.251-08:002012-02-02T07:24:00.251-08:00I have both FTDNA Family Finder and 23andme Relati...I have both FTDNA Family Finder and 23andme Relative Finder v3 - is it OK to transfer my 23andme file to FTDNA?
