Hi Elaine, I just verified with FTDNA...that 2nd column will display how far out they have tested, not what was ordered. So your new match has the first 12 markers in, but you think they ordered 37. The 2nd column will say Y-DNA 12 because their test is in progress. When the 25 comes in, the

HI Elaine, On the match page, in the 2nd column, it will say if they did a Y-DNA 37 or a Y-DNA 67 test. So if they did go out to 25 or 37, you will get the notification if you match them. And if the match's DNA is coming in, they release it as it gets done. Cheri -- To unsubscribe from this
