Your statement is misleading. By putting RG in parentheses, you are implying
that Ancestry and RG are equivalent. You never submitted samples to RG. You
cannot comment on their service from personal experience.

************ I beg to differ, I have had "personal experience" with RG, and a number of communications with Jared Christiansen, VP Sales and Marketing. Although I purchased the service through Ancestry.com, it was the RG lab which did the testing. In addition, through the kind graces of Mr. Christiansen, he provided me with my updated RG numbers as part of a pilot program whereby he asked for my input. DKF.
