On Thursday, Ancestry.com announced that they will no longer sell Y-DNA and mtDNA tests. Additionally, the results from past Y-DNA and mtDNA tests will no longer be available after September 5, 2014.
There is no guarantee on what the future holds for Ancestry.com's autosomal DNA offering, so it is strongly recommended that if you tested with Ancestry.com to transfer your Y-DNA and Autosomal DNA to Family Tree DNA where their main focus is genetic genealogy. mtDNA is not transferable because of compatibility issues.
Family Tree DNA is committed to supporting these valuable genealogical tests today and in the future. You, and anyone you know who has tested with Ancestry.com, should transfer your record to Family Tree DNA as soon as possible.
The Y-DNA and Autosomal DNA transfer options are listed below:
$19 Y-DNA 33 Marker Transfer. You can store your results on FTDNA and participate in group projects. There will be no matches or haplogroup predictions
$19 Y-DNA 46 Marker Transfer. You can store your results on FTDNA and participate in group projects. There will be no matches or haplogroup predictions
$58 Y-DNA 33 Transfer 25 Marker Upgrade. You can store your results on FTDNA and participate in group projects. You will be able to view your Y-DNA matches, and you will receive a Haplogroup prediction.
