Has anyone here ever had a genetic DNA test?
If so, what were the results? I've heard many stories where the results are often of a questionable nature.
I've never had one because I don't want the government privy to my DNA and I don't want to take down any relatives with my mitochondrial DNA. |

It makes for good family drama when there was miscreant adultery.

I have not, but my daughter has. Her's was surprisingly accurately in line with my wife and I's understanding of our muttley family history.

DNA doesn't tell you who banged who on the sly, it just tells you what areas of the world you are descended from. Had my family tree done several years before the DNA test. The only funny stuff we found was that I am descended (on my mother's side, roots in England) from William Longespée, 3rd Earl of Salisbury, (1167-1226 AD), illegitimate son of King Henry II of England, (1133-1189 AD). As for DNA, I am mostly of Scandinavian blood as my dad was 100% Swede, and my mom has some Scandinavian DNA also, most likely from when the Vikings invaded northern England during the 8th and 11th centuries and "spread their seed." |

About 6 years ago I got a fb message from a distant cousin that I knew but never talked to. She told me about a person that contacted her through Ancestry that she thought I might want to meet... Turned out to be my dad's kid and my new half-sister. Whole story line goes behind it, but I asked my mom about it and she did not know. It indeed told us at least one woman my dad banged on the sly. |

The DNA test did not tell me that I am the 24th great-grandson of the illegitimate son of King Henry II, but Ancestry did. |

I did. There was a rumor of a Native Indian sneaking around in my Mothers side In the early 1900s.
Nope. Mine showed 99% Scottish with a hint of Dane. So, if there was a sneaky Indian, he left no signs. |

DNA testing led to a genetic match between two people with a direct relationship. Just like they do at a crime scene. Just like they do on Jerry Springer.

We checked back through my mom's ancestors, and we found that my mom's paternal grandmother was adopted. We know who the couple was that adopted her, but no adoption records or info on birth parents are available for my g-grandmother, born in 1868. DNA tests tell us nothing about this, except that I am descended from her. The process of elimination makes her the only woman in my bloodline that could have had Spanish blood in her. Here she is, my g-grandmother Carrie Maxson, 1868-1936. She died 14 years before I was born. |

Both Baby Doll and I have, along with my late dog, and my daughter's two dogs.
No surprises for us two-legged types. I did have a trace of Scandinavian, which makes sense based on my maternal grandmother's written history. |

I have done 23 And Me and Ancestry. The results match fairly well, with some diversity between the two. They get updated with new research and new DNA adds to their data base. I know I have Scots, English, German, Jewish and Sicilian roots...but was surprisd to find some Arabic background. Figuring it relates to the Sicilian side of the family.
My mother was adopted and all I know was her mother was Jewish and 16 and her father was Sicilian and 34. Dad went back home after the pregnancy, and my mother never once gave me any details. My grandmother in one sole conversation told me as much as she knew. One of my "Matchyes" is at a first cousin level in South Italy, and I hope to finally make contact there. I just want to know family history. On my father's side, I already know history back into the 1300's in Germany from a family member who did the genology when he travled Europe in the Air Force. The websites have actually confirmed and stregthened the known facts. In all, I love hsitory and find searching a personal one with any tool possible to be a lot of fun. Fun fact: My adopitve Grandfather came to the US with his Father on The Carpathia- six years before it was the hero of the Titanic rescue. That's the kind of cool stuff I love finding. |

My DNA test showed my bloodline going back a few generations and the origin of that bloodline, but did not tell me when my ancestors were married (or not). Maybe you and Zippy had a different DNA test. Birth/marriage/death records (from Ancestry.com, in my case) tells you who was born when and when their parents were (or were not) married. This is as far back as I go, my 27th g-grandfather. No info on his parents and no phone number. This only comes from the above-mentioned records, not DNA. This is the current page for my DNA test (via Ancestry) that I had several years ago; the current numbers are a lot different from the original as the database grows -- as I noted in my OP. The results are not so simple as a lot of people think. |
