Doug, Asking FTDNA for complete access to their database would be like me asking you to put your Pico and Terceira databases on your website for the world to research. We both know that's not going to happen! LOL
You don't have access to kit numbers. You have access to names. You want to know who you match? You find their name on your matches list to the left of the Chromosome Browser. You can filter that list too so you don't have to wade through so many pages. If you and Doreen's most common ancestor was born 400 years ago, Family Finder will not detect that. FTDNA only promises 5 generations from the testee, but it's more like 200 years. 400 years is too far back. Here's some stuff from the FAQ: http://goo.gl/8eMJf And while your at it, read up on Identity By Descent (IBD). Or google it. Genetics is not as easy and looking for patterns. http://goo.gl/0TGTq Hope this helps.
