Comparing nationalities of people to names is totally beyond comprehension does Dr Forster really believe one can claim that a person named Smith must be English or Scottish or Irish or even American based on their name, what piffle.

Guess I am taking this thread in another direction.
This is where the concern for me comes in when handing in my sample to Family Tree DNA companies. ( not specifically one but all) . I send in my envelope with the tube in it and of course I provide a name to identify who to send the results back to.
So D.Gibbins is on the envelope , how easy would it be to do a quick name locater search and send back results based on this and not the sample? ( not suggesting unethical practices on behalf of a professional outfit)
In a growing industry there will be those people who will take advantage of peoples ignorance and ''woo oo take the money and run''
