Good News from the Southern California Genealogy Jamboree

[nathanm]

Your Genetic Genealogist has a good blog post of announcements from the Southern California Genealogy Jamboree, by both 23andMe and FTDNA's Bennett Greenspan. 23andMe has about 80,000 customers now, of which about 70% have northern European ancestry. What's more interesting to me was this comment by Bennett Greenspan:

4. FTDNA is still planning to allow uploads of 3rd party data to their Family Finder database. (Very soon!)

Just what I've been wishing for! There's also information on the project administrator conference, and results from FGS mtDNA tests and the Walk Through the Y (WTY) project.
