Just to clarify:  http://www.worldfamilies.net/ includes what they call
"patriarch" trees.  They consist of trees submitted to the site by
descendant and often keyed to the DNA results.  Anyone can submit tree
information, whether or not they have participated in the DNA testing.

I am sorry that I did not give a better explanation of why I use smgf.org.
I only use smgf.org for research purposes.  The Family Tree DNA search
engines: YSearch.org or MitoSearch.org, do not provide a family tree for the
participant.  Their search results, usually provides the names of one or two
of the oldest known ancestors in the line that carried the participant's
mitochondrial DNA or Y-Chromosome DNA.  They may tell you where the oldest
ancestor lived.

When I use the smgf.org index, I get a family tree with all the ancestors'
names that the participants know in their first 5 to 7 generations.  These
family trees give the birth dates and where the ancestors were born.  As a
result, the family trees provide much more valuable information.
