Mary B, How did you upload it and which FTDNA file did you use? The v.37?

I agree that your DNA did not match their reference sample population, so the algorithm took a guess and put you in Tuscany and Sardinia. As they develop and get more samples, you'll see more refinements over time. They do have Portuguese samples though. My dad is half Azorean and half British Isles stuff.

So I'm sure that "France" part is probably part of my dad's Azorean and didn't match their population samples fully, but matched some of them. Be sure to opt in to their DNA Matching when it becomes available. I have my dad's turned on and I sit and wait. I'm also waiting to hear about transferring my deceased mom's DNA over. I emailed them and heard nothing back except a form letter that says it can take up to 30 days for them to answer! Wow, a new company who will eventually hire more support staff, I hope.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Living DNA results
I got my mon’s DNA info uploaded to LivingDNA from FTDNA and signed both of us up for matching. This should be interesting. I had a little trouble finding which FTDNA file they wanted me to use because some of their links are wonky but I think I got it right.

Re: [AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Living DNA results
When I worked the Living DNA booth last June, he said I'd be able to transfer my mom. I don't remember when. Something was supposed to come in the summer, and I seem to remember it being the matching. From what I see on various DNA posts, they are still in beta testing. If you turned the matching on, you may get to be a beta tester. I believe I emailed them about the transfers. If they don't answer by the end of the month, I'll try again. I have their phone number, but it's a UK number. I don't have the emails of the owner or his wife though.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: Living DNA results
Thanks for the info. The site has gotten updates as their 404 messages tell me and some links don’t work right just yet. I’m looking around for sharing info and the like and I think I signed up. I am also wondering about transferring my mom’s info. Gotta get them more Azorean DNA. I saw some sort of form but didn’t have her info at hand (and didn’t see if there was a cost) so haven’t pursued that yet.
