Your latest DNA test does not mention haplogroups because it is an autosomal DNA test which is much more useful for tracing all of your ancestral lines. When you tested previously the main tests available were mtDNA (for everyone) and Y-DNA (for men). Both of these tests give you information about only one direct line. They are still available at some companies if you want to do more targetted testing of specific lines. However science has continued to develop and the newer techniques with autosomal testing are the best approach to finding out more about your whole family.

I think I might have misread the question - I thought Gen was referring ti DNA tests in general but, re-reading, I think you have the correct answer Craclyn?  ;)
