Do my children or my grandchildren stand to gain anything by 
having a sampling of their parents DNA, and the grandparents DNA 
and their great-grandparents DNA and so on and so on?  Will 
future generations benefit from a collection of DNA from their 
ancestors?

If this is true, how do I store a sample of my DNA?  Is hair a 
good source?  Is blood a good source?  How much is needed?  How 
do I preserve it long term?
