I sent two Family Finder kits in Nov 25, they got there Dec 5th and were logged in Dec 7th Batched Dec 9th, I got the results on one Dec 23 but the other kit is not posted yet as of today. People that ordered kits right after Thanksgiving or the first or second week of the sale are now hitting so things have slowed down As is sending out the kits to people who have just ordered. So combine that with the holidays things have slowed down. Don’t forget the Winter storms will also slow things down getting to and from Houston.

Now it is more. They said they are working on orders placed on Dec. 20th and they have other people from other departments in shipping working on making the kits (2 vials, 2 swabs, instruction sheet - you get the idea). They are 7 days behind. So it may take a kit 2 weeks or longer to get to you depending on where you live. By looking at the Azores DNA project, they have sold in excess of 46,000 NEW kits! Wow, we will be getting lots of new matches in the new year! In addition to that, people have ordered other types of testing too, which is not in my 46,000 count. Wow, sounds like some of us will be have a Happy Genealogical New Year! Please consider DNA testing if you have not yet done so. It's another tool we can use in our genealogy toolbox!
