I use TNG myself so I don't upload because of unfamiliarity with the problem. Mine stems from having my Williams data in with all my other data and having to sort it out - I just haven't had the time yet. Also, I have so little - me, my father, his father, and 2 more generations - back to the 1860s. It just hardly seems worth it, especially since I have no one in my family willing to do the DNA because of financial reasons. So there you go....

Suzanne, There are actually a couple if items here... First, most genealogy programs will allow you to specify which individuals to include in a gedcom file....and even select one individual and all his descendants. I know how to do it in FTM but not the others if you'd like help. And the worth is in the publicizing of your information so that other potential cousins and testers can find the information. Finally, many of us encounter financial limitations and thankfully a lot of folks in this project have contributed to the projects DNA fund. I'd encourage anyone who wants to participate in the testing but is limited because if finances to check out the DNA fund to see if it might help.
