    3. Thank you and I agree.  Now that I see what the business model is, I'm impressed.  I think the company is positioning itself to become a leader in this space.  I uploaded another test today. Lindsey  -----Original Message----- From: Tim Janzen <tjanzen@comcast.net> To: genealogy-dna <genealogy-dna@rootsweb.com> Cc: 'Lindsey Britton' <lplantagenet@aol.com> Sent: Sun, Nov 4, 2018 5:32 pm Subject: RE: [DNA] Re: Fwd: My Heritage DNA Tests In his presentation at the conference yesterday the CEO of MyHeritage, Gilad Japhet, said that some DNA features at MyHeritage will be paid only features after Dec. 1.  I would encourage everyone who has done an autosomal DNA test to upload to MyHeritage's database prior to then.  MyHeritage's database is growing fast and is approaching 2 million people at this point.  They continue to bring forth features that autosomal genetic genealogists need.  MyHeritage and some of the other companies are also having really good sales right now.
