Hi Kitty, Thanks for your comment. I’ve read your blog article before and found it very useful. Please do note that our web app requires a lot less manual steps than DNAGedcom to follow the method you describe. I hope I will have the same success as you with the lady that I’m helping find her BF. Our intention is to build the most advanced collection of DNA genealogy tools available, I’m looking forward to have you on board testing as well. More information will be send out this weekend.
