Confusion deepens. Ancestry.com press release at
http://myfamily.mediaroom.com/index.php?s=43&item=99&o_iid=33281&o_lid=33281
says that the company that Ancestry.com has partnered with is Sohrenson
Genomics - in other words, SMGF. This press release also refers one to the
FAQS page that I cited below, that says it's Relative Genetics.
