How much does a male RELATIVE MATCH DNA testing cost.
We are trying to see if two families who lived within 2 kilometers of each other on small farms in northern Lithuania in the 1780s' and are both Kohanim - are related to each other. Who do we do? How do we order this test. Thanks, Harold RHode in the same area in 1787 |

Hi Harold
Similar to the email I answered earlier this week, your question, about purchasing something >from our company, is one that normally I would take this private. However you have asked a question that may be on the minds of many people I will explain something commercial rather then technical. In regards to your question, to match up 2 males who you think are related on the Male side, you would order the Y-DNA test which is $219. If you think the connection of these two families was on a female side you would order the mtDNA test at $219. If you wanted to try both sides, because you think they are related but don't know where, then the Relative Match, at $279, per person is necessary. You can order this >from www.jewishgen.org/dna Bennett Greenspan FTDNA Houston At 04:40 PM 03/07/2001 -0500, you wrote: *** Limited Time Only - Specials Available ***Bennett Greenspan "chance favors the educated mind" |

Hello Doris
Normally this email would go to you personally, rather then to the group, but the answer to your question is actually one whose answer could be beneficial to many member so I am answer it below. You asked: I have just looked at the information on ordering the DNA kit for my Brother... I see, that for $60 more, a RELATIVE MATCH,can be done... Does this mean that the test on HIS mtDNA will give the same information, that I would receive, if I, his sister, were to have my mtDna tested? A male is able to be tested on both his mtDNA (maternal) and Y (paternal side). Since women inherit an X >from the father we don't get Y non-recombinant DNA >from women, only men. In this way a better test subject, if available, is a brother. The price is also better because we have the DNA and just have to run it through another single test to obtain the DNA. We have extended people who come and test through JewishGen a discount over the price we charge for this same service offered on our web site because we are: a) appreciative to JewishGen for being our first marketing partner and having the vision that this concept made good sense (and genealogy) b) Dr. Hammer is keen to enlarge the Jewish portion of the database because he works extensively with Jewish subjects and more data is generally better >Thus, to find out about or maternal , as well as paternal lines, HE could >have both tests done....correct ?? >I would not need to participate, correct ?? This is exactly correct. Thank you for asking and helping me clarify this question for the group. Bennett Greenspan FTDNA Houston |
