I'm sticking with my family lore saying I'm an Indian (feather, not dot) until I get my damn casino!

Mine came back and it said I was part schnauzer. That's the last time I use a Chinese DNA testing company. Either that, or maybe my houseguest drooled on the collection swab.

My dad was not married when she was born. Knocked up her mom and ran off to the Navy.

Nope. Feeds directly to the government's genetic database.

I don't know if it feeds directly, but you no longer own your DNA. Look at the fine print, folks.

I had it done a few years ago. Very accurate along with the family tree. Considering when started , you don't put any relatives names in and comes back with all who also did the test with my son right under me at 40%.

I'm not much of a fan of the govt having the ability for access but is good for finding killers. I have seen on the news, many cold case solved by DNA found at the scene or even very old cold cases.

They match it up and get many hits from the suspects siblings to 1st, 2nd or 3rd cousins who did the tests and just put the puzzle together

DNA cannot definitively tell where a person is from. The test companies use algorithims that look at specific chromosomes to make "data-driven guesses". FYI...once you submit your DNA, it's no longer considered your property.

I'd never give away my DNA, but some of the ancestry sites have really improved re: records over the years. I looked again a few months back and was actually able to trace back the men of the family 14 generations!!! My Great x14 Grandfather came from London to the Virginia colony in the early 1600s, so we're OG Americans. Here WAY before the Declaration of Independence and 1776. Also his first name was Hercules which is a pretty cool name.
