I don't see anyone questioning this premise. But neither has anyone actually shown where new generations have been confirmed as a direct result of this improved focus. It almost seems as if you (and most of the "testimonials") are defining "success" as a perceived saving of time and money. What Ardis has sought is some evidence that this has actually worked in identifying and confirming a new ancestor. Richard "Richard A. Pence" <richardpence@pipeline.com>
