How odd. I read that link and I understand why they're closing their account. Except 23andme still has the DNA and will continue to use it in their research. It's the reason I never sent for their kit. I always had the feeling that they existed for their own purposes and our genealogy interests were ignored.

I'm hoping there's an update to the quandary tomorrow or the next day. I didn't use that company, either, but ancestry is no better. I removed my raw files from there and deleted by account but you can bet your bottom dollar they kept a copy of everything. So far, it seems like, maybe, FamilyTreeDNA is the safest bet. Their kits cost more but that's all you pay for. No nickel and diming for access to the results. And you get real matches. I'll stick with their matching and GEDmatch and call it good.
