I'm not sure I'm following all that, Linda. When you purchase a test on FamilyTreeDNA, you get to search everything in their database (compared to your results) so you get ALL matches regardless of surname. You can go to www.familytreedna.com to find out how much each upgrade costs. When you purchased your uncle's test, you should have gotten an email with login information and other info to help you access his data and do comparative searches. If you don't have that email, you can go to the site and have it sent to you again (assuming you set it up to your email address of course).

Tried now three times to contact the Howard [email protected] With no results. Asked him about sharing everyone's DNA that had theirs done to make it easier to compare with all the JOHNSON'S out there..Then yesterday I asked him about the price increase on the 25 marker test...now response yet. What does the rest of the group think here? Why should it be so hard to find even my 75 year old uncle's DNA that I paid for that he never knew that it cost anything. Am I just grumbling here or what?

AN information POINT, LIKE now DO YOU KNOW Where or how many places you will have to go NOW, to try to find your Family D. N. A. INFORMATION????. With a central POINT for D. N. A. data, that INFO search could be done in Minutes & with multiple Families the cost would be much less for the INFO, After the Test Person Mailed their Results to the Center. <??? > Comment .
