New Pop Finder?

[twiglette]

This was just posted on the FTDNA Facebook page in response to pop finder question:

Family Tree DNA
Not today, but as soon as we're able to announce the release date, we'll let you know!

So I guess what we're really waiting for is a release date announcement =/

From David on ISOGG's facebook group
"The feature is complete and in beta testing with a limited audience. If there are no bugs or concerns everyone will be getting the new experience as early as next week."

So I guess we will have to wait until next week. Members of the "limited audience" please give us a preview.

Bummer. I'm off from work today.
I was looking forward to playing around with this.

Indeed! As author of the original Pop Finder, I'd sure love
a peek. I promise not to blab anything to anybody, even FTDNA.

Seriously is anyone really surprised? FTDNA meets commitment dates as well as a deadbeat dad.

LOL! Quite right. This is like waiting for the birth of a baby already. Then again that would come faster.

At least with a baby the docs can induce labor. PF has been in beta for how many years?

[benboy]

Are a lot of people opting out?
No. So far, only 1% of the users that have taken a Family Finder test have decided to opt-out.

So 1 % got the ethnic bar stopped in the first
Place? Glad they did now looking forward to the new
Origins

It is nice.

[Svein]

It is nice.

If I read this correct, of European ancestry you have according to this map most ancestry from Sicily(the darkest red)?

[Lipitzan]

It is nice.

Would be interesting to know the ancestry/ethnicity of that person.

[McNinja]

Would be interesting to know the ancestry/ethnicity of that person.

Could be Turkish or from the Caucasus, depends on what that green spot in Turkey represents in the breakdown. The Mediterranean/Northeast Europe/East Asian looks about right for someone from the Turkey-Caucasus region, maybe even Ukraine.
