DNA geneology test-who to choose?
I am trying to order a geneology test for my wife to trace her ancestry in terms of geographical origins. I’ve found several websites for places that will sell you test kits and give you results, but I have no idea who to pick.
I went with www.familytreedna.com. There are two basic tests: mtDNA (for mother to mother to mother, on back IN A STRAIGHT LINE) and yDNA (for father to father to father, on back IN A STRAIGHT LINE). They have surname projects you can align yourself with: usually that would be your dad’s surname. The basic tests are not too expensive; more in depth will cost more.
They sent me a kit with 2 swabs; I rubbed the inside of my cheeks, sent the kit back, they sent me a written report. I can also access my own page at Family Tree DNA periodically and see who else is a close match. It also tells you what countries, etc., your ancestors came from. While it will not provide names and dates, it will tell you your ancestors ethnic groups, such as Ashkenazi Jews! By paper, I have traced my ancestors all over Europe, including Iceland, islands in the Mediterranean, Atlantic, and Carribean; Turkey and other Mid-Eastern countries, Morocco, Egypt, Israel…
DNA has added Pacific islands, the Philippines, South America, Eskimos, Innuits…as well as all that I have traced by paper.
Another popular site is www.africanancestry.com… I mean, hey, I have traced ancestors to Africa as well as all the other continents (except Antarctica).
Good luck
