Interesting. Assuming that really cost effective and useful genealogical
DNA testing may be a few years away, I should think this would be of
considerable interest to the genealogical community - especially those well
on in years. Maybe we can't get the answers we are searching for today,
but our grandchildren might. It would at least keep them from digging us
up 200 years from now to get DNA samples <g>. Those who get cremated are
not even available.

Can you tell us how and what the card carries in DNA information?
