I bet the US version of the series will
increase their sales as well. Americans have roots everywhere, and based on
another article I saw recently, we tend to subscribe to services in our

This article appeared in the LA Times about
a week ago. Nothing new here for those of us into genetic genealogy, but they
come up with a non-paternity event estimate of 4%. Probably not too far off the
mark -- historically, that is -- not for contemporary times!
