I got this info from another list I subscribe to. Thought I would share with
the group

Researchers at BYU have spent 17 months searching for people willing to
donate blood and reveal pieces of their family history. The aim of the
research is to collect samples of blood, from which DNA is taken, and
family histories from at least 100,000 people. This week, samples are
being taken from history hunters at BYU's annual Genealogy and Family
History Conference. In the next three months, BYU researchers will head to
Massachusetts, Georgia, Montana, Iowa, Arizona, Texas, and California to
gather samples and talk about the project.
