Always in the minority, I disagree with the FTDNA cheering section on this
one. It somewhat depends on the number of markers you had tested at
Genetree. Genetree is now part of Relative Genetics, so if you want to
compare oranges to oranges, you might be better off there. You might also
talk to Relative Genetics about upgrading your test to the 26 marker set
they are now using. I am not sure they will do it without extra $$, but
you can also upgrade your Oxford test to the 25 marker test at
FamilyTreeDNA for extra $$.
