Got my kits, and also mailed them on Monday - but had temporary amnesia and only paid .90 on each of the two kits, as weighed by the postal clerk at the window. Now I am worried if they will be sent back or other delay!<br /><br />I wonder if the delay you mention in processing is due to late arrival, if insufficient postage is used?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773058005679938889.post-74194437024016810652012-10-18T13:03:59.770-07:002012-10-18T13:03:59.770-07:00Lucky!Lucky!Your Genetic Genealogisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14696248341534125135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773058005679938889.post-21845269762355703182012-10-18T13:01:17.243-07:002012-10-18T13:01:17.243-07:00Help, I'm turning into a genetic junkie (sheep...Help, I'm turning into a genetic junkie (sheepish grin)! Haven’t tried 23 and me, but have done mtDNA, yDNA and Family Finder<>Ancestry Beta with both Ancestry.com and FTDNA. (Also FTDNA Deep Clade). Started with Ancestry.com about 3 yrs ago, got the upgrades, but mostly had no real clues regarding those patern. and matern. matches. Uploaded the results to a few freebie sites, still nothing much.<br /> This year I took advantage of FTDNA’s deal to further upgrade the Ancestry results at a discount; on the advice of a geneticist, I upgraded to yDNA 67 and Deep Clade, hoping to get a hit on my progenitor’s German roots. Nothing much has come of that yet, either, but am still hoping.<br /> <br />AncestryDNABeta vs. Family Finder: interestingly close with their Ethnicity breakdowns:<br /> ANC.BETA<br /><br /> Scandinavian 52%<br /> British Isles 32%<br /> Southern European 12%<br /> Uncertain 4%<br /> <br />F.F.<br /> Europe (Western European) 88.48% ±3.92% margin of error<br /> Middle East (Palestinian, Bedouin, Bedouin South, Druze, Jewish) 11.52% ±3.92% margin of error<br /> AncestryDNA seems to be more precise. Adding their Scandinavian and British Isles together equals 84%; comparable to FF= 88%.<br /> <br />More interesting is the capacity to find near and distant relatives who have posted their family trees. AncestryDNA actually finds those with the same ancestor(s) for you as a HINT. I have 2 HITS so far that share a common gggf and gggm.<br /> Family Finder has more DNA results in their database, so I have about 10 HITS that share common ancestors, BUT you have to search through the other trees to find those ancestors. Both test results display Common Surnames, but this is not much help with names such as DAVIS, SMITH, JONES, etc. BTW, AncestryDNA linked my daughter to me as soon as her results were posted, but apart from her, only 2nd or more distant cousins have turned up.Rogerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09216136065305892893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4773058005679938889.post-67554496860481677522012-10-18T12:59:30.964-07:002012-10-18T12:59:30.964-07:00I agree!

I've heard that people who get FTDNA envelopes weighed at the post office have less postage put on the envelope, but it takes forever for the Houston post office to process it if it doesn't have at least $1.95 on it. I had a cousin send a kit back in July and FTDNA did not get it until September.
