hm. that doesn't say anything about the mormans owning genealogy dbs though.
The Mormons created the databases. They literally went to Europe and volunteered to manually enter handwritten records that survived World War ii. Source, I used to work for ancestry.
That has nothing to do with dna databases. I understand mormans did a ton of ancestry research, but none of those sources say anything about using DNA genome sequencing to accomplish what you’re talking about.
I wasn't talking about dna. I was talking about genealogical databases. After the DNA hit is made, they use a genealogy database to find relatives. Also... Who do you think owns Ancestry DNA?? Look up My Family Inc. They're Mormons.
The entire point of the post was about DNA sequencing. If you’re going to change the subject say so.
