Yesterday as I drove home from the office, there was a segment on National Public Radio concerning the DNA websites and the Golden State Killer. The website that was used was DNA GEDCOM. They do not do the tests but they are a free repository that people who are interested can upload their test results to find further matches from. It is free and public. Looks like someone in his family uploaded their results. Ancestry and 23andMe have made statements that they did not provide their databases to the police. Who knows if they would if presented with a subpoena or search warrant. GEDMatch stayed their website is public and it is clearly stated in their Site Policy. Anyone who requires absolute privacy should not use their website and should delete their DNA. Reading the statement of the detectives it appears the match was done at a fairly distant level - great-great-great grandparent level. It was very Industrious on the part of the detectives. Interesting as one thinks of their DNA as unique to us and our own property but clearly it has implications to all our relatives - distant and close- once we post it in the public domain. Another challenge for Privacy Law advocates across the world.

I would imagine that they searched for Y-DNA matches (perhaps by just signing on using the crime Y-DNA as that of a customer). With matches in hand they likely split it geographically and looked hard at families in roughly the right locations. Still, it was a shot in the dark because, compared with the overall population, very few people have actually tested. > > What the quoted story doesn’t include, as some do, is that they then captured some actual DNA from the suspect and that’s what is going to convict him. The DNA used by the FBI and others is a different test from any offered by the commercial companies. It’s essentially an STR test that tests fast changing locations on autosomal chromosomes. Because the locations change quickly they are poor candidates for the kind of long-range connections genealogists are looking for - but they are precisely what is needed to pinpoint a single individual. > > The quote from a “public defender” (i.e. a defense attorney paid by the state) that “[p]eople who submit DNA for ancestors testing are unwittingly becoming genetic informants on their innocent family,” is just silly - it’s the positive identification through fast changing STR sites that will convict a person, not the slow system genealogists use.

G’day everyone Over recent years, there’s been a lot of talk about DNA on FG, so I thought that members may be interested in this story about the recent arrest of the “Golden State Killer” in San Francisco. < https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2018/04/27/golden-state-killer-caught-using-genealogy-website-police-reveal/ > Regards David Armstrong Maylands Western Australia --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Eilish has asked me to let you know that she has responded to all of you who have answered her, but her emails are not getting through. So I am letting you know that Eilish thanks all of you for your help. We are working on this.

This is true but if you want to upgrade your data you would need to purchase a new kit because FTDNA won’t have your sample. I did this with my brother’s DNA because the company which he originally tested with went out of business. Margaret in Oz.

Hi Jan, If you are interested in finding cousins and expanding your family tree I would suggest an autosomal (or Family Finder) test. If you are interested in finding the roots of your surname and have a male willing to be tested, probably the Y-DNA is the best. Margaret in Oz.

For autosomal DNA testing each company (FTDNA, Ancestry, 23andMe, etc.) tests different points on your genome. There is about 75% of the points tested that are in common across all three major companies. This results in a decrease in accuracy when comparing results from different companies. It can indicate a closer relationship than there actually is, and also increased false positive matches. For the best accuracy only compare the results from the same company, and test with more than one company.

Hi, Eilish, the phone number for familytreedna.com is 713-868-1438. They are on Central Time which is 2 hours different from Eastern Standard Time in the US. Their hours are M-Th 9-4:30 and Friday 9-12, 1-4:30 p.m. (apparently closed from noon to 1 p.m. on Friday). (So when it is 9 a.m. in New York, it is only 7 a.m. in Houston, Texas, where familytreedna is.) I think they are the best company. Some of the others, like ancestrydna.com do not test yDNA nor mtDNA. Good luck.

Hi Eilish, I sent my DNA to FTDNA during February, and got my results back last week, so I'm sure all's well in regard to the company. It's certainly a well-respected one. I've also had notifications this week of "matches", so I can't give any advice as to "why" you can't get onto them.

Hi Viola: The name is Boyd from Carrowdureen ?sp Dromore West, Skreen, County Sligo. When my husbands family started arriving from Cork, the one woman arrived a widow with her sons, said she had no daughters. Found out later she had three daughters but they changed from CoI to RC and she disowned them. Something similar to your mother's story. Then - one of her sons married RC and changed to that. Guess that was the way then.

Eleanor, What is the Name you're searching for? Mixed marriages happened and very often caused a rift in families. My mother did not know she had an Aunt Martha until after her mother, sister of Martha, died in 1958. Because Martha, Presbyterian, from Co Tyrone, had married into a RC family from Sligo. It took my mother until 1963 to trace that family., and I've still a contact with Martha's Gt G'daughter.
