In my own view, Genealogical DNA testing is best done through a company that has at least two factors in its favor: 1) a significant database of participants to use to compare to your own DNA sample, and 2) a proven track record. Family Tree DNA has been around the longer and has a larger participant database. In a message dated 9/25/2012 11:24:16 A.M. Eastern Daylight Time, besotes@ succeed.net writes:
Came across a promotion by AncestrybyDNA for $97 (regularly $195) for an AncestrybyDNA test, with results available online. Here’s what is says: “Swab the inside of your cheek and send it in for analysis; your DNA sample will be tested for your complete ancestral makeup based on your chromosomes, giving you results of your full ancestry -- instead of just simple information based on your direct maternal and paternal lines. Your ancestral origins will be quantified in percentages across four population groups: Indigenous American, European, East Asian, and African. With a personalized ancestry test certificate and a detailed manual to explain and interpret your results available online, you will have a clearer picture of where you come from -- and possibly be able to close the book on some family mysteries.” Anyone know of the pros or cons with this one? Is the information interchangeable? From what I can see, it may be just a certificate with your percentages of where they show you’re from and that’s it, but I’m not for sure.
