That is not necessarily correct. While I am a member of Ancestry and recently ordered the
Family Finder DNA test under the BETA program, I DO NOT have a listing of any kind on
Ancestry or ANYWHERE ELSE because of SEVERE PRIVACY concerns. If I had known about the
FTDNA sale that went on at the same time, I would have much rather have gone with them as
I already have a 167 marker test with them which is also on Y-SEARCH. Ancestry has
absolutely NO PLANS to allow anything to be uploaded to Y-SEARCH intending to keep it
totally independant of ALL other databases which will in effect severely limit their own
results and ACCURACY. Anecstry is pushing their BETA program in an effort to hijack as
many FTDNA subscribers as possible into their proprietary system in the hopes they will
then HAND ENTER all their previous results to enlarge their own system.
