I agree that the Azores DNA Project is focused on the Acores and has the largest amount of people tested with Azorian Ancestry. As far as comparison with the other testing companies all I can say is that there is NO SIlVER BULLET through testing that will mysteriously knock down your brick walls without a volume of people tested ( there are 900+ people in the Azores DNA Project) and serious research by the person helped by this Google Group.

Since the Azores DNA Project was created on FTDNA, way before the other 2 companies existed, we have the most Azoreans. And way better tools for us admins to help manage people. And FTDNA listens. They are completely aware of where the Azores are and our endogamy problem. Research takes time though.

My dad has 1 good DNA match on Gedmatch. He has 5 good ones on FTDNA. What I mean by good is 100+ cMs. Cheri On Fri, Jul 17, 2015 at 11:56 AM, Adair Borba <adair1...@icloud.com> wrote: Thank you, what is/happens when I post to GEDMatch.com?

Most people who tested with 23andMe did for the health info when they were allowed to provide that information. Since you are a recent testee with 23 and Me, you are NOT eligible for the transfer program to Family Tree DNA. They (23andMe) had a customized chip made to include more health data and less family data, so they are not compatible with Ancestry.com or FTDNA. If you are OK with putting your DNA out on the World Wide Web, you could upload your raw data from 23andMe to GedMatch.com. Not everyone from FTDNA does this as some people don't want their raw genetic information "out there." You could test with FTDNA. They have not announced their Sizzling Summer Sale yet. Nor do the admins know what will go on sale.
