I was interested to read macphail's post as I'd not appreciated that LivingDNA included a mitochondrial test as part of the package. The complete works from FTDNA is hideously expensive so how can a competitor do it for so little?
I've tried to find out from both companies' websites but they are vague. If you pay more do you get more markers/chromosomes/whatever tested? Does anybody know?
I and both of my parents have done an FTDNA autosomal test. My father has also done Y37. Would I be better spending two lots of $199 on getting an FTDNA mitochondrial test done for both parents, or would two lots of £120 (which at current exchange rates is quite a bit less) at LDNA theoretically provide the same info?
My interest is a traditional family history one, rather than "are we neanderthal" for instance, and pretty much all lines (other than the common surnames) are now back to the early 1700s.
