Repost for Debbie Mendonca, jessdebmendonca at gmail.com <<What does “DNA out of the vials” mean?>>
Answer: In this case, the person tested with FTDNA. FTDNA uses swabs. You swab the inside of your cheek and put the swab into the vial that has the buffer solution. A Y-DNA test was ordered on this man a long time ago. He passed away. So I messaged the powers that be at FTDNA to see if he had any vials left in storage. They said yes, but it would depend on how good he scrubbed the cells from his cheeks all those years ago. I guess he did a good job. There was still DNA in his vials. And his results came in today. So that is what I meant. Sorry, I guess it was shop talk.
