I’d like to but the privacy problems are holding me back

I found it useful. It enabled me to break through a genealogy "brick wall" by connecting with a 3rd cousin who had more info on a pair of my (our) great-great-grandparents.

I'm not too concerned about privacy. I shed DNA all over the place just by existing, so I'm not really expecting that information to be private going forward.
