Over the last 20 years, I've tested with at least 7 or 8 DNA companies, 2 or 3 which do not exist anymore. FTDNA is the most advanced of these, bar none. The only company I am aware of that tests yDNA, mtDNA and Autosomal DNA. I have had several of my close and remote family members tested as well. No company is perfect, but after 15 years with FTDNA, I have no complaints. I trust them with my data - more than any other company. DNA testing is a developing science. If they (FTDNA) come out with new tests, I will be sure to have those done as well.

I've done mtDNA, BIG-Y and transferred atDNA for myself and others in my family. The chromosome browser is great. And the various groups you can join, help you discuss results with others.

Unparalleled product/database for Y DNA and mtDNA

The BigY is magnificent - I'm making a serious breakthrough in Scottish/Caribbean history, and the Surname Project volunteers I'm involved with are wonderful. Great company :)

I have never had any problem with Family Tree DNA, and have done all of the testing available to me. Additionally, their surname group projects are very helpful, and they allow the uploading of data from other companies for Autosomal comparisons. All of our family members who have done DNA testing have done it through Family Tree, and there have not been any complaints. I recommend Family Tree to anyone who wants to do DNA testing.

A great DNA sequencing company with good customer service.

Their Y test helped to solve 2 family mysteries. No other way would have been able to do that.

Useful and powerful DNA tools- the only company that provides full Y testing. But educate yourself first as to what these tests can and cannot do for you.
