Today I mailed off my AncestryDNA sample
Recently a man was convicted of murder when his half sister had her DNA tested. They had found DNA at the crime scene and when her sample matched for family they followed him and picked up his discarded chewing gum and a drink cup he had discarded.
I wonder what cousin of mine will be going to prison when my sample is tested.
On the flip side: All I know of my father is his name and I would like more info if possible. I have his name on my birth certificate and many years ago he said he had another son. He died shortly after I spoke with him.

I know all I need to know about my family. From where I sit right now, I within 7-8 miles of the last residences of 3 generations of my family(both maternal and paternal) and paternal side of spouse's family.
Too bad families get blown to the four winds and have to do this stuff to "find" themselves.0 -
This reminds me of my standant reply when someone jokes about me being mostly bald.
I tell them, "Every man has 46 chromosones. If you want to use yours
to grow hair, thats okay. I've got better things to use mine for . !!

First of all obviously it is accurate they have caught several people using the DNA matches.
Secondly I know from personal experience it is accurate in that my first cousin was identified as my first cousin when he sent his in and my daughter was identified as my daughter when she sent hers in.
The 23 and me is more info in my opinion a better deal even though Ancestry probably has a larger match base.
Knowing who you are due to three of four generations living in the same place is fine but with research you can go back to your roots PRIOR to coming to America unless you are Pocahontas0 -
I'm afraid if I ever sent my sample in that they would find the missing link that they have been looking for. Don't want to be disturbed by all of the hoopla media, men in black, strange helicopters, gov't men in space suits at my door, etc. etc. [:0]
Must be feeling "special" today! [:D]0 -
I sent mine in to 23andme.com
And I am mostly Welsh, Irish, and Scottish, which goes along with family lore.
Bonus: I am also 3 percent Neanderthal. Some of the highest Neanderthal DNA ever tested.0 -

My grandmother traced our lineage to 1816, when the first ancestor came into Texas from Arkansas. That's far enough back for me. 0 -
I have a friend who's mother sent her sample in just for fun. Her parents were both Norwegian, as well as her grandparents. When her sample came back saying she was 1/2 Norwegian and 1/2 German, it caused a bit of anxiety for her. It also explained a lot of things for her. She was the last child, born several years after her three brothers. Her father never told her that he loved her, even though he showed some affection to her older brothers. Her father, when drunk, would become verbally abusive, especially to her mother, and accuse her of all sorts of things. Her father died in his early 60's from too much alcohol, and her mother suddenly began to enjoy life so much more without him.
She found out that her biological father was different, obviously, from what she had been told. Her mother was in a miserable relationship, meets a guy (who was also married with a kid) and gets the attention she needed. Obviously her "father" knew that he wasn't the dad. And apparently her older brothers either knew or strongly suspected as well. Her biological father moved shortly after she was born, probably because there really aren't too many secrets in a small ND prairie town.
It definitely explained a lot of things for her, though it was hard to have to learn them second-hand.0 -

The also had to let out of prison many convicted innocent inmates unjustly convicted. This the plus side of the technology but as always there is the negative side.
