I'd prefer the mtDNA tbh
The mtDNA haplogroup is not available through an autosomal test but the Y-DNA chromosome is. The reason that FTDNA can provide a haplogroup from old tests is that the data was already in the results from the test chip. It was never provided to the customer in the raw data but obviously it was extracted. FTDNA is not going to retest everyone due to the cost and because some people only have enough of a sample left for one more test which FTDNA could make money off of and some customers would not be happy knowing that they can no longer get an mtDNA or BigY-700 test for a relative's kit that they manage.
Ancestry would have to offer a separate mtDNA test. They stopped offering the mtDNA and the Y-DNA test in 2014. https://dna-explained.com/2014/06/05/anc...data-base/ It was because of a false accusation using basic data from Y-DNA results. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_...el_Usry_Jr.
