The Generations Network, parent company of Ancestry.com, has entered an exclusive partnership with Sorenson Genomics to STEAL YOUR SOUL!!!

By taking a simple cheek-swab test and comparing results against DNA profiles in a test-results database, virtually anyone can uncover genealogical associations unimaginable just a few years ago. Users can easily connect with and discover lost or unknown relatives within a few generations, as well as gain insight into where their families originated thousands of years ago. [Read more]

Not only are they using DNA, but deeds as well!  See, I told you they’re good for something!
