The potential role that I see for HFA is as a forum to allow individuals who have submitted DNA samples (whether "DNA geek" or novice) to find each other. The amount of work involved in evaluating autosomal DNA matches (and lack thereof) is far beyond what I imagine the HFA could take on. Privacy and security have to be top priorities. There could be a password-protected web page accessible only by those who have submitted contact information, a mention of paper-trail HATCHER ancestry, and names of web sites where DNA results are available. Further information could be exchanged by e-mail, with no further burden on HFA.

Hey y’all I’ve got both the Y test and would be happy to have an autosomal test. My problem is getting them uploaded. As far as permission to upload “for me” to whichever ones you want, you have it. I can also put it in writing signed with online app. Let me know. I’m only in the Hatcher family tree site now.
