Have people got FF results back from batch 602? I see on another thread that results from 603 are in for some people.

I'm in batch 602 for mtFull Sequence it just changed to 1-2 weeks. My brother is waiting on YDNA in batch 603, he's at 3-5 weeks.
It all depends on the type of test, not necessarily the batch number. Family finder results seem to be the quickest in coming back. A broad statement of "anyone in batch ***" doesn't always mean that because one person has results another will also if it isn't on the same type DNA test.

I'm in batch 603. Waiting for MT-full sequence and Y-67. Y-67 markers 1-12 were due on Feb 12 at the latest. On the 13th I received the dreaded, "Results for your Y-DNA testing have been delayed" message. Now all panels are due within a two-week window ending on 2/26 (the rescheduled 1-12's window ends on the 25th).
I'm hopeful, but not feeling very optimistic based on the other messages.

I am in batch 602, mtfull are already in, waste of time and money, you may agree when you see it. Y-DNA new deadline 2-25 but I will not be surprised if it gets pushed ahead another month. I am not angry about the time I had to wait, just how deceiving these tests are presented. The only good one was the FF but to get into detail you think purchasing the mt and Y are helpful and so far mt is 100% worthless. I'll tell you this the FTC could make extra $$$ from all of this.

Originally posted by Tenn4ever View PostI agree with you about the mtDNA test. I have found it totally useless as far as genealogy purposes. I would never advise anyone to get it. However, I disagree about the Y 37 and higher tests. They have been the most rewarding and illuminating I've had my cousins submit.

I have to disagree on the mtDNA. It's a matter of having a specific need to test it.
For example, I'm currently stuck on finding paper records to confirm my strong suspicion that my oldest known maternal line female doesn't descend from the wife of her father named in the will. Until I can find paperwork to prove that situation one way or the other, mtDNA is my best hope. I found descendants of the daughters that I know to be daughters of the wife in the will and followed some Ancestry trees down to likely living lines recently. I sent messages to them hoping they know someone who would carry the mtDNA who could test.
It's a very specific use for the DNA, but it does make it valid. Testers just need to understand the limitations.
