I just found this on reddit.com. I haven't read the fine print, so not sure if it applies equally in Australia and the US... but I thought it was an awesome idea and very altruistic, so just thought I'd share:

Hi all
Have not noticed the subject of DNA come uo in relation to genealogy, especially when a brick wall is concerned.
I have been involved for a while trying to suplement the lack of documentation with DNA ti find guides for new places to look.
This is a big thing in the US and growing bigger in the UK and Europe. I notice that ISSOG (http://www.isogg.org/) (www.isogg.or ) (International Society of Genetic Genealogists.

Hello all - I'm new here - I'm in Western Australia and researching Hanna, Pritchard, Ealden, Lynch and Hammond families right now, and Kirwan, McLeod and other families along the way. I've been using the internet for 15 years and researching my family history for 24 years, but only just started putting the two together, so I'm a bit of an old-school genealogist, just figuring out all the new fangled stuff (there was a big gap there when my children were growing up where I did next to no research). I've started a family history blog which I hope to add to fairly often time permitting.

I went to a wonderful "Irish" day at the Society of Australian Genealogists last weekend. You can read my blog post here: Last Saturday at SAG If you get a chance to hear any of these speakers do go along - they are top notch.
