Changing front name on a kit?

[DADIG]

FTDNA results opened the door to

Whatever acronym is now in regarding finding out that decades of research based on the paper trail has now genetically via DNA that I am not biologically the surname I reverted to after more than a decade of divorce via a Legal Name Change.

Having had the experience of "presumed" father, I've been seeking my genetic paternal side.

Therefore I purchased SEVERAL kits over the last few months. The last one was mailed directly to me rather than the usual as I had to .. well, just guess.

ANYHOW.. Now...

mtDNA FULL sequence + Family Finder - set to weekly notifications

Responses to ltd-jean-pull at the end of this:

Contact emails to Familytreedna are not replied to.. rather an automated "please go to form and indicate what the issue is" which will "aid in...

upload RAW DNA to MyHeritage.com

myheritage.com DNA gives a much broader spectrum of the ethnicity I and other mtDNA matches I have been given permission to do with as I will.

GEDMATCH seems like a good idea; however, too many have joke or nicknames or no real identifiers....

Major beefs. Inconsistency in "service" and results

This is becoming secondary as:

1. Added tests that were paid for and "Batched" April 24, 2017 are STILL "Pending" (ONE for kit # 362359)as of June 30, 2017.

2. Vitagene...

Four persons, all descended from one of the four.

Family Finder results are in the 700s including speculative.

OTH, the other three kits get 11,000+ hits/matches via family finder compared to the eldest daughter. All are XX.

The other three kits have 50%...

https://www.familytreedna.com/my/order-history.aspx# shows April 04, 2016 it is now almost June.

Service is very much on the decline. It's time to pull you thumb out. Kit# 362359 is one of 12. To date there have been issues with TWO kits. One of which the company "claimed" lost/will...

Of course



I quite understand and the fact is that ALL four of us had the same level of testing and there is less than a 100 FF matches for my test results compared to over a thousand for each of the others.

ALL of us had the SAME levels and types of testing....

My daughter, my sister, my mother and myself all had mtDNA Full Sequence done.

Oddly my results are about 77 matches via FF while the other three of over a thousand.

Not impressed with this any more than I was with the "glitch" that turned out to be "my bad...

[DADIG]

WOW

Oddly the C/C payments were processed within milliseconds.

Forums be great.... look.. OVER THERE see the emoicons aren't they cute :

I too have paid for multiple family member's testing and dis other companies in favour of this site....

"Glitch"

Is the response I got for a kit received November 07, 2016 that is still showing "pending"

Doesn't bode well that others (yes plural) who I know are paper trail cousins are not showing up on mtdna test results.

[DADIG]

No.

November 07, 2016 to today's date - not "Batched" not "received" as stated above.. "Pending"

Mailed in the envelope that came WITH the kit as I did with NINE other samples from different donors.

My discretionary funds for...

Kit RECEIVED via tracking November 07, 2016 STILL shows "pending"

Luckily, I was able to have the tracking number redone at the small satellite post office in Canada. That was done yesterday. "Received" in Houston on November 07, 2016.
