I just received the following email from FTDNA, concerning my mtDNA results which were originally due on May 3 in batch 143:
---
There are three sections to the test; one to test for the haplogroup by SNP, one to sequence the HVR1 region, and a third to sequence the HVR2 region. The SNP test is the only portion of the test which produced clear and complete results, and assigns you to the mtDNA haplogroup H (the most common haplogroup found in European populations). The sequences for the HVR1 and HVR2 regions have failed to produce a result twice, so the lab is trying a third time using the second sample you provided. We just received the results for the second attempt, so we expect the results from the third attempt to be complete in early or mid July.
---
Keep in mind that over a month ago, I was assured: "Nothing wrong with your DNA...the Y processed just fine." If FTDNA's mtDNA process has now failed twice, it is frankly difficult to believe that "third time's the charm."
Very discouraging. Too bad ArgusBio.com isn't fully operational yet:
