OUR FAMILY DNA RESULTS

Picture
DNA Double Helix
I've had my DNA, both mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and autosomal DNA (atDNA), tested by 4 genetic genealogy companies: Family Tree DNA, AncestryDNA, 23andMe, and the Genographic Project (Geno 2.0), my mother and father are also undergoing testing at Family Tree DNA and 23andMe, and an aunt and uncle at Family Tree DNA. Yes, as well as being a Genealogy Junkie, I'm also becoming a Genetic Genealogy Junkie – the concept of genetic genealogy for family history research has totally hooked me. It's important to have as many older relatives as possible tested (older relatives provide the most specific information), so I recommend you approach your older relatives to be tested before it is too late. 
My DNA Results from 4 Companies
Dad's DNA Results from 2 Companies <to be added>
These pages in this section will give my key results, as well as Y-DNA and mtDNA results from my father, and comparisons of my experiences with all these companies, both with the data provided, as well as how easy/difficult it is to interpret the results and work with matches. I will also give an indication as to how successful I've been in identifying previously unknown relatives based on their matching services (not available on the Genographic Project) during my fishing expeditions for genetic cousins, and how each fared in matching me to relatives I already knew about based on traditional family history research and on-line family trees. Contact Me if you would like more details, as I can provide more specific details on a one-to-one basis than would be appropriate here – "Forthright" is my middle name!  Now I think about it, wouldn't that make a great middle name for future genealogists?: "Susan Forthright Griffith". It has a certain ring about it (as well as a definite ring of truth).

I have no conflicts of interest here, as I'm not associated with any of the companies. I've paid for all the tests myself, with the exception of the autosomal DNA test from Ancestry (AncestryDNA), where I was offered (together with thousands of others no doubt) to be involved with the beta-testing phase of their test for free (I only had to pay shipping costs).
