If your nephew will send me the address where his DNA test results are posted, I will compare it with our Cloud data. Some of the Cloud males will submit their DNA results to the Research Lab's database library where it will be stored. Your nephew should do the same. Any DNA test results submitted to the library is compared with all of the other test results and when a match is found the two individuals will be notified by the library staff.
