I have done a free DNA test with Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation (SMGF) in 2007 for research and was surpose to be able to see results and those persons related to me for free. Unfortunately they sold this to a private genealogy company who wanted members to pay to see results.
Don't know what happen after that point.
I have now done an Ancestry DNA test.
I began a One Name search of all WESTON's in Australia and then New Zealand trying to find my ancestors and descendants, willing to pass on what I have. All information stored on Microsoft Excel spreadsheets.

Biography
Served in the Australian Army for 38 years (CMF, ARA, Emergency Reserve and GRes).
From conversations by my Grandmother on my Father's side and not paying much attention when young I got interested later and started my Genealogy search in South Australia while posted there, finding information on the LAUCHS side of the family.
When I retired it became more of a obsession. I began a One Name Search of all WESTON's in Australia then later New Zealand trying to find out information on my ancestors. I try to help and pass on any of my WESTON research to other WESTON descendants/researchers on any of the lines I have.
My One Name WESTON information is held on Microsoft Excel spreadsheets over 100 for Australia and 20 for New Zealand.

He served on about 6 ships between 12 Feb 1943 - 4 Dec 1948. (Series # J2851 Control symbol Q1321 Barcode 1911225). I will have to go through my documents to locate them, last saw them when we got him added to the WWII Nominal Roll.
Still learning how to do things.

Great help thanks again.
My name is Lauren Weston , daughter of Brian Weston who’s mother was Florence Lilian Weston (Rogers) her husband Arthur Weston. Reaching out for some history
thank you so much for all of your work on the Weston tree! A brief conversation recently with my father revealed that there was apparently some connection between the Weston family of Buckland, VIC and the Jacob family but no details were known. Well, suffice to say, the game was afoot and after a few BDM searches that showed the marriage of my Great-Aunt Catherine Esther Fitzgerald of Buckland to George Charles Weston, I then happened across your work here...which has been a boon! I immediately dusted off Diann Talbot's texts and found plenty of Westons represented. Too bad I didn't have this info on my last (and rare) trip to Bright. It's a nice thought that all of these families of the Buckland with which we become a little more acquainted over time (in my case, Jacob, Fitzgerald, and now Weston) were all working, laughing (and probably crying a little) together as they built this great land. Thanks again! - SteveJ
I just wanted to say that I admire the effort you've put into your family tree. I'm from the New England branch of the Weston family. They were originally from England, and there's some vague family story that they came over with William the Conquerer... Affiliated with the name Parks, perhaps?
Happy research,
Claire Nava
