Hello Bob,
Reading your message here, I read all your messages, and wonder if you will expand your statement:
"The lab is ISO certified (FTDNA's lab is not), so the results should be accurate."
Are you saying that FTDNA results are not / may not be accurate?
We used FTDNA second half of last year and I would really hate to think that we have wrong results.Is there any way to know?This could become very expensive if one cannot count on the accuracy of these tests.
I hate to put you on the spot but I think it should be out there if they are not reliable - how the heck are we, the public,supposed to know?
I just yesterday advised a new and same surname tester to use FTDNA and he did so and went for the 67 marker test - now do I need to think I gave him bad and expensive advice?
And is that also why my friend and, suspected kin by marriage, with the same surname as myselftested out to a T haplogroup and has very few markers even in the same ballpark as any other of our surname.Is it because the test results are bad because they were done by FTDNA?This has been a devastating happening for him.
Why is their lab not certified?I know you are not part of that but what are your thoughts on that?
What is the BEST way to do the yDNA when you are only interested in the genealogy aspect?
Thanks for your forthright and excellent comments.Linda McKee
