Re: [CoTyroneMailingList] getting a researcher
I also recommend FTDNA for Ulster matches. Plus, Margaret, there is already a DNA project for the Armstrong surname with over 300 members. So, you might want to make a couple of those kits Y-67, then transfer any Ancestry autosomal results to FTDNA also.

You are correct, Elwyn. AND they are the most reliable in fact, MyHeritage DNA tests are done through FamilyTreeDNA.com Jim McKane South Bruce Peninsula, Ontario On Fri, Dec 7, 2018 at 9:41 AM Elwyn Soutter via CoTyroneList < cotyronelist@cotyroneireland.com> wrote: > Family Tree DNA reportedly has more people with Ulster roots than any > other company.

Re: [CoTyroneMailingList] getting a researcher
Family Tree DNA reportedly has more peoplewith Ulster roots than any other company. That obviously increases the chancesof finding a match. If you have already tested,you can transfer your results to them for no fee. The North of Ireland Family History Societyis running an Ulster DNA project and can offer FTDNA testing kits at a reducedprice. http://www.nifhs.org(Go to DNA project on the website).
