Great news, group! The ¡°DNA Day¡± sale has started at FTDNA and will last only one week until next Thursday, April 27th. And new this year is a sale on SNP Packs. They are on sale for $89, meaning a $30 savings. The timing of this sale is great for us because they have just released a revamped Z8 SNP pack that will test people down into some of the SNPs we use for branching under S6881. I¡¯ve put all of the ones that pertain to our line down below. ?If you find it all confusing look at the S6881 Group spreadsheet in our files and that should help you see who is where with these. If you are interested in doing some testing outside of the BigY to see where your matches, or yourself if you haven¡¯t tested this far, will land on our big chart do it now. Speaking of BigY, it is on sale too for $425. That¡¯s a $150 savings. That¡¯s the lowest we were able to get it at Christmas if we got the very best coupons. So if you¡¯ve been waiting for good prices to test SNPs this is a really good time to do it. The bad news is that there are no STR upgrades on sale this time. If you¡¯ve been waiting to upgrade your STRs to Y67 or Y111 you¡¯ll probably want to wait a little while longer. It is possible that they might put those on sale around Father¡¯s Day. I¡¯ve put the list of sale prices below. So encourage your close matches (or yourself) to test now and see what branch they¡¯ll/you¡¯ll land on. Just remember, the SNP packs will help show you what branch you belong on but won¡¯t find your personal SNPs. You¡¯ll need to test BigY for that since it will look for SNPs that are unique to you. SNP packs only test for certain predetermined SNPs. Let me know if there are any questions.
