Batch 354

[drouhin]

My father's in this batch.

He was born in England, but has mainly Irish ancestry. We've been able to trace his paternal line back to early 19th c. eastern County Clare.

I hope this is more fruitful then my yDNA or mtDNA have been. It has been interesting but useless so far for genealogy.

I have to agree about the mtDNA being rather useless, for the purpose of finding relatively recent relatives.

My significant other has had some (though rather limited) success with his yDNA.

But I think the Family Finder will end up being more practical if one wants to find cousins within the past few hundred years (provided some of those cousins have also had the test). My S.O. has already been contacted by a 4th cousin who looked at his gedcom and figured out the common ancestry.

I'm in this one for Family finder aswell. Not sure what to expect for matches.

My family goes back to UK and Denmark/Sweden, and is well documented on most lines from c1750 onwards. (My ancestors didnt leave Europe until 1840s-1920s.)
No Americans in my known family, but I'm sure some relatives probably have moved over there.
I'm hoping to pick up some matches on the lines not already covered by other testing, 2 x mtDNA and 5 x yDNA.

batch 354

me, too!

Have done FGS and got 1 match, no common relative yet.

Results on YDNA from my mom's side no matches on 37 markers.

Results on YDNA from my dad's side, a couple matches on 67 makers, but no common relative yet. Unable to contact the one who is apparently the best match.

My tree is pretty well documented back to the level family finder will check for, but hoping to find some males in some of these lines to break down a brick wall!

I hate to wish my life away, but I'm just too impatient waiting for these results!

I wish time would just hurry up, quit taking up my precious time and make it to Mid May already.

Batch 354

I am also in batch 354. I'm curious about the results. I had some luck with the Y-DNA but none with the mtDNA.
