You will have your DNA out on the Internet and for those who chose to upload to GedMatch, you will be able to compare your DNA with them. My dad has 1 good DNA match on Gedmatch. He has 5 good ones on FTDNA. What I mean by good is 100+ cMs. Cheri On Fri, Jul 17, 2015 at 11:56 AM, Adair Borba

As we build the database and get more and more testing, it will be a lot better. Since the Azores DNA Project was created on FTDNA, way before the other 2 companies existed, we have the most Azoreans. And way better tools for us admins to help manage people. And FTDNA listens. They are completely
