With the free test you have no way to check with your matches, contact is not provide for, nor is a ID number like mine below. The thread is from the DNA list and how people are trying to contact their matches on that free data base. I believe in this work that bigger sample solve most problems. So I am for Y67 more markers, more family members being test, more people of a surname being tested, more member of the IrishType III being tested etc. I am also for being truthful as possible as each of us can be. Like Judy brother it could be away to check on the for fee labs work. You would have the information need to access the database information.
