Compiling data for genetic >research does not require the same type of documentation as traditional >genealogical research. The genes themselves verify relationships and >qualify or disqualify a person from a particular study. Citing the >source of every genealogical fact in the electronic gene pool was deemed >unnecessary and cost prohibitive by medical researchers. Millions of >individual records were created from birth, marriage and death records, >obituaries, probate records, books of remembrance, family histories, >genealigies, family group sheets, pedigree charts, and other sources. >The records colledted that did not fit a specific study and became the >projects "by-products" and were scheduled to be discarded.
