Hi Richard, Thanks so much for the contact. I do not know the answer to your question, but will try to find out and let you know. My hunch is that it would sort of be like Ford and Chevy sharing their customer base. I doubt it. Maybe someday in the future. I'll see what I can find out for you. May I have your permission to post your comments on the Blog message? That way perhaps someone that knows a lot more about it than I do will give us an answer. Best regards.

Hi Dick, Thanks for the reply, no problem, you have my permission, I'm sure the responses will be very interesting. My thought is, there should be some sort of regulation that all genealogy DNA has to be shared in a common data bank.
