Hi Gadget,

I tested my mtDNA at FT-DNA, I am H1a6 and we can trace my mother's maternal line back to Pomerania, Poland around 1800. There is a basic no-frills mtDNA haplogroup at 23and Me.

I have also taken autosomal DNA  tests at Ancestry DNA, FT-DNA,  23andMe and uploaded to My Heritage and GEDmatch. At FT-DNA and GEDmatch I can see my X- chromosome match with my sister.

Not sure if anyone else had this situation too but I had an ancestry test that didn't show the exact relationship. Through research and stories we found it was a possible half sibling. Had to go to a company that did sibling DNA testing to confirm the relationship though. We did PaternityUSA sibling DNA test and got what we needed. https://www.paternityusa.com/sibling-dna-testing/
