Is this the only service available ?? I think the IDEA is great, but the execution may be flawed . . . .

Reviewing the data on their website indicates that, for most of us, this will only be useful in EXCLUDING branches, and will be essentially identical for everyone who shares a common ancestor 15-generations-or-less ago -- meaning that they shared a common ancestor after about 1500. . .

Since this could take all English BOONE groups back to Humphrey do Bohun in Middlesex, with essentially no discernable differences, what is it going to tell us ????

We need something with enough markers to discern maybe a 4-7 generation "branch" effect, or it will simply be too "inclusive" to do any good . . .
