Family Tree DNA Holiday Sale (end Dec. 31st at 11:59 CST)

[Cheri Mello]

Cross posted to Azores, Madeira, and Island Routes lists: I'll try to retype the announcement later, but the holiday sale will be shortly (10 a.m. CST).  In addition to these prices, they are going to have a Mystery Rewards that current testers obtain by logging into their page.  It can be used on top of the sale prices and the Mystery Rewards will change every week.  Here are the sale prices.  Family Finder is $10 off (unless you have already tested then you can get an additional Mystery Rewards). The hyperlinks below are not active.  Remember the sale won't begin for another 42 minutes.

Here's the official email with the sale prices.  They were proofreading it or something.  And I thought the sale started 10 a.m. my time and 12 noon CST (I wrote my time by mistake last emai).  I don't see it live yet.  FTDNA  knows we are all sitting here waiting!!

Chris M,

Yes, FTDNA ships worldwide.  It's $9.95 USD to ship anywhere in the world. 

Since you mentioned you didn't know where to start but you would like the full history of your genes, I would suggest the Family Finder test.  It covers ALL your lines (Portuguese and non-Portuguese) back about 200 years from the birth of the testee.  If you have a living parent (or grandparent) test them first as 200 years back from their birth is even better!  But if you are all you have, then by all means, test yourself!

You'll get a list of matches (you'll have to tease them apart and this will take time, but if you are of mixed ancestry, you'll be able to tell your Portuguese lines apart from your non-Portuguese matches).  You'll also get a rough ethnic breakdown - 75% European (they'll break that into say, British Isles, Southern Europe), 10% Middle Eastern, etc.

Order through a project though.  If anything happens, the admins can help you out.
