7Record Edmund West, Provo Utah, The Gene Pool was created for use in the study of human genetics and disease. Compiling data for genetic research does not require the same type of documentation as traditional genealogical research. The genes themselves verify relationships and qualify or disqualify a person from a particular study. Citing the source of every genealogical fact was deemed unnecessary and cost prohibitive. Records were created from birth, marriage and death records; obituaries; probate records; books of remembrance; family histories; genealogies; family group sheets; pedigree charts; and other sources. After viewing the quality of the source material used to create the gene pool the electronic rights to the data were purchased. (Ancestry.Com)
