Regarding genetic genealogy (the use of genealogical DNA analysis for 
finding probable relationships), I disagree with you, but, this mailing 
list is not the appropriate place for continuing the discussion relating 
to genealogical DNA analysis. And, police use of genetics, for proving 
culpability for a crime, can be faulty. That, also, I will not go 
further with, here, as it is not appropriate.
