we have successfully extracted DNA and we successfully completed QC, which included a little bit of sequencing. We still need to fully sequence the DNA but from a lab perspective, we are fairly confident we will build a good genealogical profile (and ahead of our projected schedule). Next step is to do just that. Once we get the match results, it will be easier to estimate what will be required in terms of genealogy. We appreciate everyone's support and interest and will try to keep updating as learn more.
