Al, In addition to what was said, FTDNA will send an automated email to you (and all us admins) once your DNA arrives and is checked it. It will be batched on Wednesdays and extractions always begin on Thursdays. Rick may not be aware, but only admins can see the expected dates now. On your pag

They usually take 6-8 weeks once they receive your kit. When it is sent to the lab they will post an estimated date the results can be expected on your page. Rick Richard Francis Pimentel Epping, NH From: azores@googlegroups.com [mailto:azores@googlegroups.com] Sent: Monday, Janu

Hi Al, You'll be notified as will the admins when your results are posted. You'll be given directions showing you how to view your results online. If you need help one or more of the admins will help you. This could take several weeks or more depending on how busy the lab is processing results f

Fawn S, I'd test the maternal uncle. Which test depends on the goal. If you want just his surname only, do a Y-DNA test. If you want a broad overview of all his lines, back about 200 years from his birth, do Family Finder. If you want both, order a combination kit. Family Tree DNA will have a
