About this webinar
We will learn step by step, how to utilize mitochondrial DNA testing at Family Tree DNA to get the most out of your results. We'll look at little known methods to obtain information, even if your match doesn't have a tree. We'll talk about using resources such as Geni, WikiTree and others to break down mitochondrial brick walls. Lastly, we'll discuss projects and using mitochondrial DNA in conjunction with autosomal for a slam-dunk.

What do I do with mT DNA file from inherited teeth? I can have mT DNA extracted but what can I do with the data? FTDNA transfers autosomal from select companies only. I don't know who the teeth belonged to or if female or male. Any suggestions? Loved the webinar -- lots of good tips.
Thank you for an interesting webinar - my history is from Southern Africa, a complex mix of Dutch, German, English, Scandanavian, & Dutch East Indian trading countries. I have done autosomal & mitochondrial dna for myself & my now late Father so this all helps to draw in the information. South Africa has the added complication of endogamy / pedigree collapse which complicates results with thousands of cousin matches on Ancestry. Thank you ....
Terrific program! Loved the idea of following down female descendants of GG Grandmothers to find a 'live one' who might be willing to take a mito DNA test. Found several potential lines, but have not yet identified a live person with a contact to consult. But will really try!
so glad to have the syllabus to refer to. I had my MT testing done a few years back, but have never made any sense of it. This will help. Thank you.
Great presentation - lots to learn about Mtdna going forward!
Awesome presentation. Thank you for the great syllabus.
Excellent overview of mtDNA, especially helpful for dispelling the myth that it is "not useful" for genealogical research
So excited to see growth coming to the mtDNA family. I tested my uncle for a first yDNA kit in 2000, #744 and now we have matches in Australia and New Zealand. I tested mine after it came out and it disproved the Native American story that has been the brick wall to find further info on that grandmother. Now I have new ways to use it after this excellent webinar so that I might actually find the mother and go back one more generation. Thank you Roberta!
