I'm afraid at the moment Living DNA results can't be transferred to the Family Tree DNA database because there are too many differences in the SNPs on the two different chips. It's possible that if FTDNA adopt a new chip in the future they might be able to accept Living DNA results but that is not likely to happen any time soon.

If you're interested in exploring your direct male line with DNA testing then ideally you should order a Y-STR test from Family Tree DNA. This will put you in the FTDNA matching databases. It is the matches that are the most useful part of a DNA test for genealogy purposes. The Living DNA test only covers SNPs which can be used for deep ancestry to identify a haplogroup but are not relevant for genealogy. Your Y-DNA SNP results from Living DNA could be used to complement Y-STR results from FTDNA. See the ISOGG Wiki page on Y-DNA testing for further information: https://isogg.org/wiki/Y_chromosome_DNA_tests If you do want to order a Y-DNA test through FTDNA you should apply to join the Devon Project as this will give you the project discount.
