Those
of you who have tested at 23andMe may now upload your raw data to Family Tree
DNA to be converted to Family Finder. If you tested at the V3 platform it will
cost $50. Really a good deal as Family Finder is usually $299. It is a special
price and won't last long. The conversion is not a perfect match as some snp's
are different but with over 900,000 snp's to compare there should be
plenty.
If you tested at the V2 level it will cost more. The way I understand it, you pay your $50. Then when you upload it will say you don't have enough snp's and you will then be offered a $109. special price for the Family Finder test. That is also a really good temporary price.
Is it worth it to have both? I think it is. You will need to download your raw data and unzip it before you upload.
If it uploads successfully you will get this message:
"Congratulations! The results file you uploaded was determined to be a V3
File with more than 900,000 SNP results. Please note, uploaded results files
Are batch processed once a week. You will be notified by e-mail when your
Results file has been processed.

Family Tree DNA features and order additional tests to uncover more about
Your ancestral origins."
There was a glitch earlier but everything seems fine now.
