Good news... early update:

I've found one company, so far, that says they _are_ running AncestryByDNA on their own equipment, in their own lab. They told me their lab is in Australia.

DNA Ancestors
Based in Australia, serving multiple countries (including Australia, Canada, Ireland, U.S.A., and U.K.)
"...has experienced tremendous growth and expanded in to over 35 countries across the globe. Specializing in DNA testing services & focused on the development of innovative genetic testing services & associated products. Our laboratory procedures have achieved the highest standards with the prestigious award of the ISO 17025 accreditation."

I called their USA phone number: 888-900-9040
DNA Ancestors told me the longest it has taken for people to receive their printed results, is 60 to 90 days. Usually sooner.

Note: Another company I spoke with today is Genelex, in Seattle, Washington. They said they don't run their own tests, DNAPrint Genomics does, and said that the machine that's been down in the DNAPrint lab, has been down for "a solid 3 months." They said DNAPrint thought it would be up and running in mid-January, but when they did a test run in mid-January, the tray run failed, so it will take more time to get the machine back up and running. (Note: We now have confirmation that they didn't hock that machine, contrary to what one unsubstantiated claim from an anonymous detractor, but that the machine is simply down, still present in the lab.)

I'm still contacting many other AncestryByDNA distributors (I've called a few on the list, so far, with these questions.) I'll report back again, relatively soon.
