Legacy items

You may notice that some donors’ profiles feature informational items that have been discontinued for our more recent donors. These include:

Staff impressions

Staff impressions are written by California Cryobank professionals who have worked directly with our donors. They’re designed to offer some insights and details about a donor’s appearance, personality, or mannerisms that they’ve had the chance to gather firsthand.

DNA ancestry

DNA ancestry is a report of the donor’s geographical ancestry obtained through DNA analysis.
