Cheri, Thank you....I have a coupon from when my Mother did her original test last summer.
Should I pay the upgrade for her later, or, should I use the coupon on me, and test the portuguese side? I guess what I should ask is what is the cost of the upgrade for my Mother vs the cost of dong me?

Your Mom's samples are stored for 25 years. They will pull the vials and run Family Finder on them. So no need for new cheek swabs. Let me know if you decide to go ahead with this so I can get you a coupon.

Would that be an upgrade to the DNA already on file or would she need to complete a new test? In a message dated 6/2/2012 4:56:15 A.M.

How does Family Finder compare? A: It doesn't. They are 3 different tests that can be run on your DNA. Just like if you are hungry, you can have a choice of apples, bananas, or oranges. Y-DNA is your father's father's father's line only. mtDNA is your mother's mother's mother's line only. Family Finder covers all your lines. It's not a straight shot like Y or mtDNA. It's a tangled web of all your lines. Some people have enough DNA in them that it detects ancestors born 175 years before. My dad has matches with people whose common ancestor was born in the mid 1700s. My dad was born in 1934. -- To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.
