I’m sorry you had that experience John, but that has not been my experience with Family Tree DNA. I have ordered many tests from them & always received the test results I ordered. Plus when I’ve contacted the company with questions I have always received replies.

Stay away from FAMILY TREE DNA
I ordered an online special offer for a 67ydna test from Family Tree DNA and got ripped off. I paid $205.00 including postage for the test which was actually, what they call, Family Finder test. I did not receive the results for the test I ordered but received a cheaper test instead.
I called their office but they did not want to even follow through with my complaint. I wasn’t after a refund, just the results for what I paid for.
My advice: stay away from this company – they have no integrity!!

Thanks Kerry – that is a very helpful summary of the current situation. I had no idea that testing had progressed so much.

Thanks for this great summary of the currently available tests Kerry. I have only stepped into DNA genealogy research this year and I am enjoying it very much! Waiting on some more results next month.

Thanks for such an informative post! I’ve decided to dip my toes in the waters of DNA research, and have been trying to decide on which method to use. I’m more or less stuck between asking my dad to take a Y-DNA test or taking an autosomal test myself. This post made the differences a little clearer (though I’m not sure I’ve been able to make a decision yet!)
