2 weeks ago I uploaded a cousins DNA to
GEDmatch so that another cousin could play around and found they changed the upload settings. The old owners had it set so that when you uploaded, you were not opted into LE or Doe matching, you did that in your user control panel. Now they have it set to opt you in.
I copied what's on the main upload page, I'm glad I actually read the 2nd setting where it specifies
except for kits identified as being uploaded by law enforcement representatives because the 1st one doesn't mention LE or Doe uploads. They should have the words
bolded like I do but sadly, they do not. I'm not surprised. I removed the cousin kit because my cousin was done playing around. He's actually removing his kit too.
