Not fraud, but extreme carelessness. Please get a clear statement from
FTDNA as to what the "tested" is supposed to mean that they added on their
own to thousands of Ysearch entries, but not others. The owners of those
entries were not consulted ahead of time. I don't know if the owners can
overwrite the "tested" or not, as I have never tried. My entry is not
marked "tested" though in fact has been tested to the hilt, just not by
FTDNA.

If you get a clear statement as to what "tested" means, pass it on to us.

Ken
