Thanks. That would beat the price of having it done at 23andMe for $99
then moving it to ftdna for $89. The 23andMe test, however, includes
mtDNA.
I see that they're offering mtDNA for $99, but their page doesn't say
whether is just HVR1. There are too many matches that result from just
having region 1 tested.
Good to hear from you! You need to remind us every now and then about YOUR
mysterious John. :) In fact, you might want to refresh our memories with a
synopsis.
