Job Description

This is hourly paid consulting gig for someone in the human family tree / genetics space. I'm producing a reality TV show that involves using public data to find people who are blood related, but aren't aware they're related. (ie imagine uniting two family members that aren't aware they're related.)

I need an expert in the space to help find a large database of people who are related in the US. For each individual I'll need:
- full name
- SSN or birthday
- optional: location / contact info

I am not looking for a website where I enter an individual name, and retrieve a result for that individual. I'm looking for a large table of Americans that are related. (ie mostly interested in siblings, cousins, and second cousins)

Don't worry about the other aspects of the show (ie do they know each other). I'm simply looking for someone familiar with sourcing for this info. More ideal if the subjects have given consent for their data to be used in a variety of ways. (ie is there a public repository of people available who signed up for genetic testing services? just an idea)
