Are you aware Jan that with a Tier 1 Gedmatch membership ($10 US for one month) you can create a kit for your father which is your DNA minus your mother's DNA?

Honestly I can think of better things than paying even more money to websites for researching/dna etc.  I am very computer literate and have no problem copy and pasting etc as I am doing now.

But thanks for the information,
Jan

A phased kit of just your father's DNA will give you superior information to what you are getting with your method Jan.
