I am sure I am mentioned in his file. To get my Real ID driver's license I had to give them my left index finger print. In the past I have had my thumbprint used for a driver's license. I don't remember ever being fingerprinted with all fingers. I have never been arrested, never had handcuffs on. I have never committed any crimes more than traffic things but I have not had a ticket of any sort since the 1970s.
On the last week as a military dependent I went to the base hospital and requested my medical records, and I have those, and I doubt there were ever any copies made.
I donated blood for many years and gave over 6 gallons total so they have my blood tests, but I don't think the blood institute or the Red Cross did DNA tests, just blood types and antigen tests.
I would love to have the FBI show me what they have on me. It likely would be scary.

I'm more like your dad than like you. I have a TS clearance (have for a long time), AND I know for a fact the government has my DNA on file (gave that to them back in the 90s).
I also know that I have been the "victim" of at least 3 breaches from various government databases, so the nefarious actors who committed those breaches (and whomever they sold the info to) also know everything about me and my family.
I have no secrets, and really don't care...but I've always been retiscent about doing these ancestry test because I know what the Mormons use the DNA database for
However, I did just tell my wife that I want to do this. There's some ambiguity about my ancestry, and I kinda wanna know more...and want my kids to be able to know...at least on my side of the family.
