Hi Joyce
No, Confidential means between Ken and those
who submit Dna... First of all Ftdna has to get
a release checked so he can see the Data. The
Data goes to the donor and Ken and into our
Tribal records. You must understand those
records are not released to anyone
including the BIA, nor other Tribal Members.
Our membership paper records are Confidential
also. Its who we are and can prove it.................

Now if the Donor wants it released , she or he
can do it thereselve. They can put it up on National
Genographic World study for 15.00 a nd Mitrosearch
mtDNA and Y-dna for release to the public for
free through Family Tree.
Gene Park
I hope this helps....if not lets try again, maybe
I do not say things clear, sometimes as with
School and all, am pretty busy and mind track
gets a bit narrow.......
