Seeing as Brotherhood is the newer series (or the title of the thirteenth disk in the old one), it is based completely off of the manga series written by Arakawa Hiromu.

Being based off of the books was the original intention of the older series, but there came a point when its creators were forced to deter from the books' plotline. This was because at the time of its creation, the series had no more books from Arakawa-sensei to base their own plotline off of. Hence, the forked pathway.

In the beginning, there are many similarities between the two series, but eventually the older one becomes somewhat hard to believe in its improvised plot twists. I believe it breaks off the path of Arakawa-sensei's intended plot somewhere around the "Psiren Case."

There are a number of characters that appear in Brotherhood, but not in the original series, and vice versa. Lin, and Lanfan are two examples.

Do you have to finish the first fma to watch fma brotherhood?

Of course, the option is up to you whether or not to finish the original Fullmetal Alchemist anime series or not before starting Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. However, I highly suggest you do to get some closure and so you don't mix up details from the series. Each has a similar storyline in the beginning, but begins to differ later on. By the end of both series, each has a totally different plot, antagonist, et cetera.
