Myheritage and Family Tree DNA Announce Parthership
(Comment/Update: It looks like every genea-blogger in the universe is announcing this partnership. We all got an email yesterday asking us to promote the partnership, but not before 5:00am eastern US time today. I jumped the gun a little...my post time says 4:59am. I usually don't post these announcements because I don't want to seem like a copy cat, but since I'm basically lazy, I thought "what the heck"...I didn't have a post planned for today and this one was easy to write.)
The folks at Myheritage announced a partnership with Family Tree DNA today and according to the press release "combining MyHeritage’s innovative Smart Matching and Research technologies, members can now also use information contained in their DNA to find present-day relatives who share a common ancestor from many hundreds of years ago. FamilyTreeDNA users will take advantage of MyHeritage’s site to stay connected with current family members around the world and make further research family history." (read the entire press release)
The cool thing is that Family Tree DNA has created a landing page which will allow you to get the Myheritage discount that can save you up to $60. This is not bad since these tests can be expensive.
Check out the review I wrote of Family Tree DNA about two years ago...some if it is a little dated, and the prices may be different, but the basic info on FTDNA should still be accurate. Additionally, here is a roundup of all of my DNA testing articles.
Familybuilder DNA enables consumers to discover their DNA with the most affordable kit worldwide, announcing today, the release of its line of popularly-priced home genealogy DNA tests. For more information, please visit: https://dna.familybuilder.com
