Thanks Phil for the link to the Estes update. I have paused my account as she described. I was not aware of their financial problems so think I will download my DNA data as well.

I am not with 23. I also decided to delete the accounts that I had with GEDMATCH. I cannot see that it is useful now without a subscription. I appreciate that they need operational costs. They have also had a previous data breach which has led to changes. I do not think that I will renew with My Heritage either, partly due to technical issues. I uploaded DNA to Living DNA but have never paid for subscription. FTDNA also might delete - that just leaves Ancestry, which I have found the most useful.

I have read this post with interest. Thank you.

I received the following update from an Ireland DNA group on Facebook, I’m not sure if it’s already been shared on RC yet. I should add, the person who shared the info from FTDNA is a DNA expert.

PLEASE NOTE:  The latest posting from familytreedna.com is that they are not accepting any uploads from 23&me for the forseeable future. If your 23&me kit results are already with ftdna, they are perfectly safe and wont be affected.
