Why use Family Tree DNA?
Since
its start in 2000, FTDNA has been associated with the Arizona Research Labs
led by Dr. Michael Hammer, one of the world’s leading authorities in the
field of genetics. With the other world leaders in genetics in their organization,
FTDNA has become the leader in helping genealogists test and use DNA testing
in their family research.
Nine of every 10 genealogists choose to test with Family Tree DNA and they
have more than 3,600 surname projects already in action. More than 117,000
people have been tested and their results are available for comparison.
You can find where your ancestor lived 10,000 or more years ago and whether
you have Native American, African or Western European origins.
