Cheri, I would like to do this on my husband who is mostly Italian. If you can spare the coupon he would not be in the Azores group. My maternal side is Irish English and that wouldn't help with my paternal Azores side.

Thanks, Gail From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Cheri Mello Sent: Wednesday, May 30, 2012 7:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Family Finder Sale only on Family Tree DNA Gail, Family Tree DNA (FTDNA) who is running this sale has been around doing DNA for genealogy since 2001, I think. So they have the largest database. They use some big name geneticists and stay current on the latest discoveries and follow current guidelines for DNA testing. Their turn around time is about 2-4 weeks on Family Finder, depending on the size of the batch (they tell you 6 weeks, which is their max). Ancestry started out as a publishing company. Then they built their online database (U.S. Census and other images you can see). Then they got into DNA. Last Nov, they started their own kind of Family Finder test. Those who ordered last November got their results in April. Five or 6 months later. Since they are just launching this, their database is really small and you probably won't get as many matches. And probably none that are Portuguese. Test with FTDNA. I have 92 Family Finder results, 4 at the lab, and I don't know how many coupons I have given out. I'll post what's been ordered in a couple of days.
