Shipping time from Italy to USA?

Mickey308 do you have any updates? I agree with ianJF- much can be figured out on a very close match without contacting them. Close matches can be very skittish.

I just rec'd an email that FTDNA in Houston received it four days ago. Now either the Project, and/or me, will be happy with more knowledge. EDIT - There was a post (on Ancestry) almost 20 years ago that said my paternal line came to Germany from Northern Italy.)

Thank you Emona. I have no contact with the sender, only one of the Admins from the group, who says he mailed it 21 Jun, which is now 6 weeks ago.

Hi, someone I hope to match, sent a kit back to Houston the week of Fri 21 Jun (so sometime between Sun 16 Jun - Fri 21 Jun). They said they would tell me when it is received. The tester is in Northern Italy, but the man who mailed it back is in Austria I think.

Here are a few questions that may help in beginning to figure out things:

Are you able to see the results from both yours and your father's tests at Ancestry? Do you know some of your family history or have a tree? Do either of you have matches which seem to correlate with the tree, or...

I know it could take years for them to update. It went through OK I see mine on the site, though don't see if they updated it.

Does anyone know if this is working yet? I am wondering since I have a friend I was going to suggest this to.

[Lincoln]

That is true. I was referring to an earlier post that said...

--- I don't think that is proof of anything....

Finally submitted it, after some help from Ian. Hope it works. They gave me an accession number this a.m.

If more than one, preferably as many as possible tested, then uploaded to Gedmatch, then the kits could be run to see who they share in common, and perhaps a Lazarus kit could be made to replicate the donor? Half siblings' kits can be informative

whoiis - I would not use My Origins here as absolute proof of your ethnic identity. I am not awake enough, but I just wanted to say this.

I would also suggest the Facebook groups DNA Detectives &/or Search Squad. I know how good they can be in solving these mysteries.

Very little of this crisis is how the media is portraying it. I will leave it at that.
