Jim, could you share some details about how to go about uploading and notifying GEDmatch about research kits? I have some plans along these lines and am glad they have a way of handling them that won’t cause confusion for others.

David, Haven't seen a reply go past so although I'm not Jim. Log in to GEDMatch Click on the _*EDIT or DELETE your DNA resource profiles. *_link below your list of kits Select the one you want to remove from the public matching system and click Edit There's an option on that page where kits can be marked as Public, Private or Research Public / Private / Research: (Research kits can be used with any GEDmatch utility, but they will not be shown in comparison results for other kits. We do NOT encourage the use of the 'Research' option with normal kit uploads, since it is not consistent with the free exchange of genealogy information.) Public Private Research Very useful to mark what are essentially the same kit as Research, leaving just one of them pubic, eg if you've uploaded your kits from all 3 companies, or as you've been doing, manipulating the no calls etc, the rest are all still available to you as Research kits.

Thanks Lorna - your reply is excellent. I am away from my PC, and couldn't research an answer.
