In most cases, the answer is no. This is because the technology and resolution of autosomal DNA tests has changed in the last year. The Family Finder test uses a high-resolution microarray (SNP) chip that contains over 710,000 data points (loci). Older biogeographical tests used a few dozen short tandem repeat (STR) markers or a few hundred single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers.
