It will help you narrow down which branch your matches come from. Just maybe wait to see what happens when the FTDNA Facebook page hits 15,000 "likes", because they've said they'll have a sale then. I'd love to find a close family member who was willing to be tested. I haven't worked out how I'm connected to any of my matches yet.Shelley Crawfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15008715347583341427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7849506599116665235.post-59900771003835623252011-06-05T13:51:03.090-05:002011-06-05T13:51:03.090-05:00The Family Finder test is sort of a "breakthr...The Family Finder test is sort of a "breakthrough." Previously you tested men with one test and women with another and it was very limited. Family Finder tests all sides, which comes with it's own problems - which side is the match on? I ended up testing my parents to pair down my matches.<br /><br />It took me a bit to fully understand all the different types of DNA testing and what they revealed. Then, I couldn't seem to be able to explain it to other people. Finally, I watched Elise Friedman's webinar, "Genetic Genealogy for Beginners," which gives great detailed information.
