If they improve it they will have to spend money as most of their bought records are just like FMP waiting for funds to digitalise them all including Worcester, Stafford and Dudley Archives barely touched :roll:I think they might put more into the DNA side that seems to becoming more popular and more profitable :idea:

the DNA could be expanded by doing the YDNA male lane and the mtDNA female line as they don't currently do this. if they push membership cost too high it will end up with less users so i cannot see massive increase in that

mtdna I paid for, I forget who with now. Ancestry bought out, it was there, then they stopped it? I lost what I paid for! :eh:
I don't really understand it enough...need to learn more!
You and chiddicks have been very helpful in my learning though!

Lets hope the cost doesn't go up! :grin:

if its a mtdna it a maternal test mother to mother etc it will be with FTDNA they would still able to find your result if you contact them ive just done a Y111 for my Paternal side down the male line might get the mtdna done later, don't think ancestry owns them though

you got your kit no ? written down anywhere
