Trevor, I'm the only admin from the Azores or Madeira projects to make it to the conference this year.
The only thing I know is the note that I took at the conference: <<The Population Finder will be released when they are comfortable with the results. Since last year, they have started it over 3 or 4 times!>> What I know about FTDNA (a customer since fall of 2005 and an admin since spring of 2006): They don't like to put a product out there and then have to backtrack. Their first Population Finder was in beta. But when they put out the new one, they don't want it to be like another beta. They want it to be a good product. Out of the main 3 genetic genealogy players, FTDNA is the last one to revise it. Since the other 2 have done their updates, you know FTDNA wants to have the best one. This time last year, they said that the Population Finder would be ready probably around January. January came and went and here we are a year later. I really don't think that they will throw it out and start all over again. They did state the problems with Russia and Poland. Elliott, the IT/Engineering guy, told me at lunch that Portugal was working and that France was swallowing up other nations. He only said that they will release it when it is ready and wouldn't put a timeline on it. So we sit and wait. And France is swallowing up my dad too!
