*  23andMe total matches have increased 6.2% in 3 months, and 34 cM or higher matches have increased 7.1%.

*  FamilyTreeDNA total matches increased 1.8% in 3 months.  

*  LivingDNA total matches increased 9.2% in 3 months.

*  It seems to me the bloom is off the DNA rose.  Will there be a Christmas boost in sales this year?
