Loretta, a small correction. FTDNA's claim to have the world largest DNA database is wrong. Either 23andme or Ancestry has it, both have over 1 million atDNA tests since months. FTDNA doesn't even have half of that. They have the largest Y-DNA and mtDNA database in the world. I know it's just Marketing bla bla but let's keep it straight and factual Andreas (WEST) born BASSO My ancestors: [http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Basso-Family- Tree-23](http://www.wikitree.com/genealogy/Basso-Family-Tree-23) "Loretta Layman via" <genealogy-dna@rootsweb.com> wrote: > FamilyTreeDNA does all the DNA tests for > National Geographics Genographic Project and has the world's largest DNA > database.

Thank you for the correction as to atDNA Andreas. Perhaps FTDNA should restate their claim. It certainly was true for many years, but no doubt Ancestry's superior assets and advertising have begun to pay off in atDNA customers. As with society in general, those who have more money are able to invest more and thus gain more. In any case, it still stands that Ancestry's reply claiming a lack of female interest in Y-DNA is simply false.
