Help/Advice re mtDNA


By Armando - Posted on 09 April 2012

Hello Esther,

If you already have a username and password just logon and hover over the
menu where it says My Account and a drop down menu will show up with the
option GEDCOM/Family Tree and click on that. It will take you to a screen
where you can upload a gedcom file.

If you want to use your brother's Genographic project results being used in
FTDNA you need to them transferred. It is explained in the FAQ at
http://www.familytreedna.com/faq/answers.aspx?id=3#326 I am not sure if you
can combine your results and his results in to the same account. You should
call FTDNA for that. At worst you'll have the two accounts. One in his name
and one in your name.

What is your paternal line and what is your maternal line? How far back
have you gone with them?

Regards
Armando
