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

Wonderful Surprise......605 mtDNA Results are IN!

After trying to get used to the Results being delayed another MONTH, today at Noon I had a Wonderful Surprise!

The mtDNA test results were in, and since the original predicted dates were 2/25/2015 to 3/11/2015, they can be considered ON TIME and a little EARLY!

So happy, and YES this test proved my descent from a Revolutionary War Soldier!

Thank You Family Tree DNA......

Always Fast for my Tests......

My Family Finder results from Batch 570 took 19 days, and my Cousin's Batch 573 took 13 days, but this was Spring of 2014.

I suspect with the Holiday's FTDNA likely experienced a surge of returned Kits, thus the longer than normal completion times......

Currently I am waiting for mtDNA results for Batch 605, so I can understand people becoming anxious, because I certainly am.

BUT, all things considered, I am very pleased with Family Tree DNA!

Delays for Batch 603

I ordered on 12/29. I checked at the beginning of Feb and saw that it had been delayed. I checked two weeks later and it had been delayed again. I thought surely it would be completed by the end of Feb. Nope. Delayed yet again. If only we had more information from FTDNA. Very frustrating!

The results of my cousin's test are shaping up to be rather interesting. We are half-2nd cousins, once removed. My 2nd great grandmother is his great grandmother, but through a different husband.

Sister 1 comes in as 2nd - 4th cousin.
The other sister and I come in as 5th to remote.

The first match on his list is to the shared surname - Hutton. This match's line comes from a village about 55 miles from our group, though came to the Colonies many generations before ours. The match's group were Quakers, so endogamy may be at play here.

FF Batch 605 results in

Got my FF results in. Have 10 matches on Distant Relatives and some have 50 shared cm so need to investigate. Also have 31 pages of speculative relatives so quite a bit of work to do.

Knew I was Eastern European origin so surprised to see 23% southern europe but know that have Boikos as close relatives and part of this group moved to the Balkans area in 600 AD so that might be the link.

Just have to try and understand how these fit together so big learning curve ahead.

My cousin's 605 came in today! Wooo hoooo!

[larzus]

I had two kits in batch 605, my aunt and my daughter. My aunt's kit came through yesterday but my daughter's hasn't. Then I messaged my aunt who was very keen to view but she couldn't remember the password so she changed it! She sent me a message saying 'I had to change my password. Hope that doesn't stop you from logging in'.

She's been out at work and evening functions since then and hasn't yet seen my message saying that I need the new password to view the results. She has already forwarded two email queries to me but I can't get in .... oh the frustration ...

I have a FF kit in Batch 603 that was delayed until the 11th, then the 18th, and now the 25th as of this afternoon.

Congratulations to all of you with new results in! I hope that you all will gain wonderful discoveries.

So, are batches usually completed on Tuesdays? Can't wait to see my cousin's matches in 605, then my other cousin in 607!

My wife's FF came in last night. She was in batch 604. She has 784 matches and some of them are in my list!!!!

Finally, my FF matches are in from 603. I have 33 pages of them. Glad to hear that others are also getting results today as well.

My Dads results are in too!!! Making my way through them all, 10 X matches so these might give me an idea of my maternal grandmothers unknown parents...
