Hi, I have added my own profile to my mtDNA progenitor. My question now, should I also link the profiles of all my deceased female ancestors leading to the progenitor?

No, just yours and any other living Geni users who you know to be her MtDNA descendants too. (Eg if you had a sister who was also a GEni user).

Personally, I would stop short of even adding siblings unless they've been tested.

You never know! :-P

Oh Drummond - that's a thorny path. For the moment, we show it on the project if the person's DNA has been tested [confirmed by genetic test], so including those users who register on the tree as in the direct line - even without being tested - is okay because it helps us to know who to connect with when we're looking for family matches.

I know Sharon, I was being facetious.

I've had some pretty extensive testing done by FTDNA prior to their partnership with Geni / My Heritage. I wonder if there is a way to get my results added to my profile.

:-) Put it in the About.
But please be sure to add it (and your prog) to the mtDNA and Y Prog projects too. Yell if you need help.

I'm guessing there is a DNA feature coming soon......

I'm seconding that guess :-)

Hi, I just had my DNA tested and I'm U2e1a. I saw a listing for just U2e1 for progenitor. Would I just add in my listing with the suspected progenitor to the list? (Catherine Marais, SM/PROG)

I first thought your tree was not fine, but now I see it is - added a few sources... great news Private User

Thanks Jan. I enjoy working on the tree, there's definitely place for more sources! :)
