      Hi Jeanne - this time it is a mtDNA test. I've previously done the autosomal and ydna tests.

    Glad to finally see Michael added to Legacy FT Webinars. There are very few applied mtDNA case studies, so it is great to finally have one to point to when I'm approaching potential testers for mtDNA.
