The "Commemorating the Missing" Project was conceived largely by Project Leaders Maurice Gleeson and Michelle Leonard of ISOGG-UKI (International Society of Genetic Genealogy - UK & Ireland branches). Both are genetic genealogists and lecture widely on how DNA can be a very useful tool for augmenting your genealogical research.
Michelle Leonard harvested the names of the 526,000+ soldiers from the various memorials, and Donna Rutherford created the searchable database.

Ok so I picked a soldier (English), started his family tree and found someone on Ancestry who had a full family tree for this soldier, and is a relative. I obviously have contacted him to ask if he will take it over and do a DNA test, I have not had an answer yet. So, my question is, can I choose another soldier?
