Judy, You are right on....re: clan numbering...we plan to renumber clans so they match...and add an index so people can see who belongs to which clan, and quickly go right to the donor page they are most interested in. A DNA test's strongest result is a "nonmatch", absolutely proving no relationship; in contradistinction to a "match" which only proves a common ancestor and statistically estimates the time to the most common recent ancestor.
