Greetings everyone!
I have two pieces of news for you I'm sending this to all of you as you may know someone it could benefit.
Family Tree DNA has decided to allow people who have tested with other companies to get a get at FTDNA For a reduced price. These prices are nearly in half.
This is a limited time offer and only for those who have already tested with other companies.
You may know a friend or relative who would like to join Family Tree DNA, but have tested with another company....Relative Genetics, Ethnoancestry, etc. Just forward this email to them.
Max's info from FTDNA is below.

From time to time we receive requests to allow people who have tested with
other labs to join Family Tree DNA Surname Projects. We have always
avoided adding results from other labs to our database because as a
question of results integrity, we wanted that all project members to be
tested with Family Tree DNA.
In discussing this subject with a few group administrators we settled on a
solution that was to their and our satisfaction: we agreed to offer our
12,25 and 37-marker at a below cost rate, so that we can allow those
individuals to get tested with us and join your Surname Projects. But this
will be offered for a limited time.
The individuals will fill in a LAB CONVERSION FORM found at
http://www.familytreedna.com/pdf/PROMO_GAP.pdf (this link is also at your
GAP), and send it back to our office for verification, so that we can
enter the order. Due to the fact that this is a below cost offer, we are
limiting the time during which it will be available. Those forms need to
be filled and returned to us by March 31, 2007. Should you have any
questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
As always, we thank you for your support.

WE NEED YOUR HELP! Seven people will not solve this mystery but it starting to shed some light. Thanks to everyone who got involved.
