Isabella, In regards to mtDNA matches (NOT Family Finder): 1) You don't have any new matches. So none are showing up. On mtDNA matches, you will receive an email from FTDNA whether it is an HVR1 match, an HVR2 match, or a FMS/Full Test match. 2) They showed you those matches. People who belon

Marilyn, You can do either. It depends on your goal. After you order one test though, they will keep the vials for at least 25 years so you can do different testing later. If you want a broad goal, do Family Finder. That will go back about 200 years from Gil's birth. So if Gil is born in the
