Hi Laura, We have many Lauras on the list. And almost a dozen in the project. I don't know which Laura I am talking to. You may wish to email me privately at gfscherim at gmail.com
FTDNA does NOT transfer to AncestryDNA. Right now, AncestryDNA testees before May of this year (2016) can transfer to FTDNA for $39. FTDNA has the programming complete for AncestryDNA testers after May of this year, but are working on display issues. So those people won't be able to transfer for a few more weeks. On FTDNA, once you have a relative test, you can run the "In Common With" (or "Not In Common With") filter and get a list of matches common to both of you. Many will be the lineage you seek. However, you could find my non-Portuguese mother on that list because you and she have lines in Virginia, for example. MtDNA show only ONE line. The testee's mother's mother's mother's line, or the bottom of your pedigree chart. For you and your daughter, this is the same line. You've passed on ALL your mtDNA from your mom to your daughter. You have passed only HALF of your AUTOSOMAL DNA from your mother to your daughter (she has 1/4 of grandma). If you have other children, they will have 1/4 too, but not the exact same 1/4. As for a different type of test from FTDNA, they try to use the same vial when possible.
