\nA:\u00a0 Yes.<\/p>\n
\nA:\u00a0 No.<\/p>\n
\nA:\u00a0 Yes .\u00a0 FTDNA will have a promotion good for the rest of 2011.<\/p>\n
\nA:\u00a0 Adoptees can join the “Adopted” surname project and qualify for discounts offered to member of surname projects.<\/p>\n
\nA:\u00a0 These conferences are give and take events where FTDNA and attendees learn from each other.<\/p>\n
\nA:\u00a0 It is not at the top of FTDNA’s list of priorities.<\/p>\n
\nA:\u00a0 The Adopted project is a point of entry.<\/p>\n
\nA:\u00a0 Yes, but it is a matter of priorities.<\/p>\n
\nA:\u00a0 They are .\u00a0 You can’t see all names at once because competitors were harvesting surnames from FTDNA.<\/p>\n
\nA:\u00a0 No .\u00a0 Autosomal DNA is the next horizon.<\/p>\n
\nA:\u00a0 Heteroplasmy is not genealogically relevant.<\/p>\n
\nA:\u00a0 Yes.<\/p>\n
\nA:\u00a0 He doesn’t know.<\/p>\n
\nA:\u00a0 No.<\/p>\n
\nA:\u00a0 Yes.<\/p>\n
\nA:\u00a0 Right now it is treated as a multistep mutation, but FTDNA will eventually change this to a single step mutation.<\/p>\n
\nA:\u00a0 Yes .\u00a0 On the myFTDNA page,\u00a0hover over “My Account” and click on “Match and Email Settings.”<\/p>\n
\nA:\u00a0 No .\u00a0 The current version of .NET doesn’t allow that.<\/p>\n
\nA:\u00a0 All STRs and SNPs must match.<\/p>\n
\nA:\u00a0 You need SNPs to predict most haplogroups.<\/p>\n
\nA:\u00a0 If the parents are from diverse groups, Family Finder works well, but not for close, inbred families.<\/p>\n
