How Many People actually get Family Finder Results in the 3-4 week time Frame given..

[larzus]

Once again, there are a couple of new 5th-Remote cousin matches in my mother's match list. She is obviously the one who shares an ancestor with some US Colonial settlers.

Because of this, I can see there is movement of some sort, but it doesn't look as if a whole batch has been released. Hopefully they are taking the week to bring out the delayed tests and those who fell through the system in various ways.

I'm a bit concerned, though, that the new Family Tree issue might have led them to hold off on batch releases till they sort it out.

I'll be glad to hear that those kits from Batch 602,603 and 604 have come through.

CLC, Have you tried looking under Mydna, family finder, myorigins? For me this appeared at least two days before my FF results...

Yes, I have tried that. When I saw that was happening for some folks, I started checking. It says there's no data in the table.

I just checked my dads again just in case! But nothing... No My Origins..

I've still got another week in the expected time they gave me but I don't hold out much hope...

I know normally around results days which seem to be mondays and thursdays you'd see a general indication that a good few results have come in but it doesn't seem to showing up this week, theres no rush of people reporting long over due results, no real posting of any results really..

I realize that the business day isn't over yet, but still no results on a batch 603, received in lab on Jan 8.

Today was the final predicted day for results to post, and there has been no update. However, the awaiting results page is now formatted slightly differently, which I suspect will change to include a note saying there's a delay.

Assuming that things don't change in the next hour and in response to the original question that started the thread, I can say that I have never had Family Tree DNA come through in their promised timeframe on any test I've ordered from them - autosomal or Y-DNA.

No results today for my son No "received" either for my own kit.

[loudam]

Jsarnaki, we're the same with my dads test, we know nothing about his mothers parents, we have 2 names on her baptism and that's it..

Has anyone heard of any results today?

My dads is in 604 too, but when I sent it in I got an email about 3 weeks after it was received to let me know they had received it, a kit posted one day earlier here in Ireland on the 17th dec compared to my dads posted on the 18th was batched ans ready to go by christmas day and results over 2 weeks ago... My dads wasn't batched until the 8th Jan and like yours no sign of results, but today is thursday hopefully there will be a good few kits results given out

Thank you! Yeah, my sample was sent 3 weeks ago as of tomorrow... still nothing to say they have it as of today. Still no customer service reply to me asking if they received it. As for my son... I have to log on to his account to see if there are any results yet. Today is 4 weeks exactly for his FF. I am anxious to see his... we know a lot of my family history, and hardly any of his dad's family history. His paternal grandmother just did 23and me before she died a couple months ago... and found a half sister, so we know there is more family out there!

02/05/15.....

I'm in the same boat over here and haven't any results yet. This is getting to be ridiculous considering I am waiting on four tests, and I see other people in batches that came after the batches I'm in getting results weeks ago and I still haven't any results on any test.

[BravoNovember]

It's 2/5 and I still don't have my FF results from batch 603. Ugh!

[loudam]

My son's FF is in batch 604, batched 1/8/2015 and tomorrow will be 4 weeks exactly, and no results as of today. Our results time frame is currently listed as 1/29/2015-2/12/2015, so it would seem we are getting his results in 4-5 weeks IF we get them by the 12th. I hope so, I am getting tired of waiting lol.

My sample is another story, it has been over 2 1/2 weeks since I mailed my dna sample and it still isn't even showing up as received much less batched. Very frustrating considering my geno kits for myself and my husband were mailed a day later and they have been running for over a week already. They all go to Houston Texas, so the delay makes no sense.

I've been spoiled in the past, I think. The average time for my own Family Finder tests has been two weeks six days so I was expecting my Batch 605 tests to come through today, being three weeks. If there are so many Batch 603s and 604s to come in, they ought to be first. I know there is some overlap between batches.

My mother received four new distant matches today but my other kits had none. If I filter out the third party matches, these ones stay in but I don't know if that filters out Ancestry transfers or not. I'm hoping they were from regular batches and are a sign that more tests are completing and being released.

I think the most frustrating part is the time frame they give isn't what it should be, if a test has failed first time round they should report it as failed, when I posted my dads test based on how long it took for my own kit last year I had an estimate of the 5th March as results day and I get the feeling this is what it will be, 8 weeks from being batched to getting results, just wish they would report to reflect the test status..

Just signed in, and still nothing on my Mom's account. However I did check my own account and got some bad news.

"Results for your Big Y testing have been delayed. We have updated your predicted completion date, and action by you is not usually required. Note that predicted dates are an estimate and subject to lab volume and quality control."

They've pushed the expected date on my Big Y out to 2/25/15-3/11/15. It was batched on 12/10/2015.

Sorry to hear that, poorejj.

But this month is a short one and it always seems to fly by fast. Before you know it, you'll be in the new expected time frame. And hopefully your results will be sooner than later.
