For those #Genealogists who are interested, this video shows you how to copy your 23&Me results to #GedMatch , after you DOWNLOAD them from #23andMe .

#GedMatch has a host of great tools that allow you to continue analyzing your DNA and build your #FamilyTree with #GeneticGenealogy .

Be aware that law enforcement can also use this particular database. However, you must OPT IN to allow your data to be accessible to them. So far, they have been using it to help identify unknown "Jane/John Doe" bodies and solve #ColdCase crimes.

It's official...
23&Me has filed for bankruptcy.

The company has been rejecting any buyout attempts, but their Board of Directors is now saying that a Court-supervised sale is the best path forward. Part of the reason for their financial troubles was a 2023 #DataBreach that affected millions of customers and hurt their credibility in the marketplace.

Yesterday, California's A.G. reminded consumers that they have the right to demand their data be deleted and that 23&Me destroy any genetic samples. (I would add that you also have the option of downloading your #DNA data and then uploading it to #GedMatch .)

To Identify Suspect In #Idaho Killings, #FBI Used Restricted Consumer #DNA Data-Slashdot

FBI …comparing the DNA profile … with 2 DB’s that law enforcement officials are not supposed to tap: #GEDmatch & #MyHeritage. It was a decision that appears to have violated key parameters of a #DoJ policy that calls for investigators to operate only in DNA DB "that provide explicit notice to their service users & the public that law enforcement may use their service sites"
