   But Ancestry do let you download the data so you can put on GEDMatch, it   
   has the advantage that if you do see an interesting connection then   
   there is an EMail address to contact and the person is probably more   
   interested and knowledgeable that many who are only on Ancestry or one   
   of the others.
