[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] Ancestry changes to DNA testing

[Joyce Guasch]

I'm certainly no expert on this, but since Family Tree DNA offers more tests
than any other company that I'm aware of, that would be the company I would
choose. Look at this link: 

https://www.familytreedna.com/landing/ydna-transfer.aspx 

Which as this as an answer of Why Transfer to Family Tree DNA:
1.    Family Tree DNA is the world leader in DNA testing for genealogy with
the largest genetic genealogy databases.
 2.   Over 90% of genealogists choose to test with Family Tree DNA, creating
the largest community of active genealogists in the industry.
 3.   Transferring will allow you to join projects, communicate with
experts, and network with people who share your interests and your heritage.


I didn't do any further investigating than find this. I suggest you send
them an email if you have any questions. Please feel free to email Emily
Aulicino at aulicino at hevanet.com, also. I've emailed both FTDNA and Emily
and received prompt replies.

So where should we house our DNA now?
