FTDNA Important Pricing Update

[brianco]

HVR1 single test no longer available on FTDNA but the standard mtDNAPlus (HVR1+HVR2) is now only $49 !!!

"We're discontinuing the HVR1-only test. Our basic mtDNA test will now be the mtDNAPlus (HVR1+2) at the $49 price point!"

Thank you very much for the info! I've just ordered it! ;)

Nice one BakodiP

Hopefully more under represented populations will be ordering too. I know a few with H1c and subclades have Eastern Euro ancestry.

Here is a link to a project you may be interested in when you have your results:

Thank you, I've already checked it. A bit surprising to me that Hungaraian Y-DNA project has 5-6 times more participants than HUN mtDNA. I guess people here are more interested in their paternal origins! As for me if it wasn't so cheap I wouldn't order it.

I bet the ratio of Y to be more common than mt in most countries though don't know the figures.

At the new price hopefully more people will test. I ordered for my cousin to test as she is on my paternal grandmother's line. As you say so cheap means we can now take advantage

Any guesses on the result for my cousin (English ancestry)? I will say some kind of H
