Family Tree DNA is a very good company for genealogical DNA testing. They are the main source for Y-DNA testing and the BigY 700 test is a key tool for exploring your patrilineal line.

Great customer service and innovative features, especially for the Y-DNA products.

The only site that offers Y-DNA and mtDNA testing, which are not only important for research but also for finding family. It might be a bit more expensive than people are used to but the benefits are worthit. I got a cousin to test because a 2x great grandfather was a mystery. That's when we found out he was not genetically the son of his father. Powerful stuff. But their "regular" DNA testing, called FamilyFinder, is easy to use and incldues many powerful features.

Family tree DNA is the best place to deal with Ydna or mitochondrial dna issues. Their database is by far the largest. Once you take the time to understand what the tests can and can't do and how to use their system.There's a great deal to be discovered.

I’ve been a customer for years. Most recently I upgraded to the Big Y 700 test and have enjoyed my results tremendously. It wasn’t easy at first to understand my results, but their website along with its features and with time has increased my understanding of the results and I couldn’t be happier.

FTDNA offers the most options for dna testing with autosomal, Y and Mt DNA testing. I am the Admin for several Y surname groups on FTDNA and I appreciate their stellar customer service. Anyone interested in their family history should consider one or more of their dna tests. I highly recommend them.

The BigY 700 is the most advanced YDNA test for tracing male ancestors from Ancient Times to your birth. Fantastic migration maps showing your male ancestors crossing Europe.

They are the goto for YDNA and MtDNA. Agree with others that the bad reviews reflect more of a knowledge deficit than anything else. Many of the bad reviews are just factually incorrect. The tests can be pricey (that's because of what it takes to run them and it's not unreasonable), but there is no subscription after purchasing a test. We aren't always going to get the ethnicity results we want to get out luck out by getting the match to the one person we need to break through a brickwall. It takes work and patience which the other recorders don't seem to understand or have.
