I got my DNA results back from AncestryDNA

kissgoodnight
I got so little info it was a bust. I am told I should have used 23andMe.

Ethnicity Estimate
62% England, Wales, and Northwestern Europe

26% Ireland and Scotland

12% Germanic Europe

That was it folks!

I was told 23andMe gives you more info. Like what diseases you are genetically prone to. Oh well.

    23 & Me much better some of my genetic kin have used ancestry and sadly due to the lack of providing actual strings we can't even compare from 23& me to ancestry results

    And now all the government alphabet soup departments have access to them too.

    There is ZERO privacy.

    :lol:

    I have talked to way too many people that can prove their test were incorrect, including mine ,,, Starting to. Believe the entire thing is a scam for the Government to get everyone DNA

    I reckon privacy doesn't matter when the govt. wants to find out about someone. Never used any dna results from any of them.. if you look at the family tree it pretty well points where exactly everyone came from.

    My sibling had it done with similar results. Hard to imagine they can take a saliva swab and get all this data.

    Its more about making a buck than anything else.

    I paid a hundred bucks to get my DNA run on 23andme.com

    It was well worth it. The results were in line with family lore, I am primarily a Celt, that is, Welsh, Irish, and Scottish.
    Also a good chunk of German and Danish I was glad to see that.

    Also I can be the chief of the tribe of Pocahontas because I am more Indian than she is, I am .1 percent.

    Also, best of all, I have some of the highest Neanderthal DNA ever recorded, 3 percent!

    As far as I know, they do not have any background markers designating what a Native Americans (INDIAN) genetics are supposed to be.

    If they do, as it seems kind of simple to me, they are not giving this information out to the public. Take a native American that is a real Indian with a pedigree going back many generations and test his DNA. What are the results??????

    With a checkered past one should pass on supplying their DNA
    My friend, quite the drinker, says he got a ancestry test kit from his daughter.

    I say "do remember everything you did in the past?"

    His ancestry kit still on the shelf LOL

    bet many could get a better set of info by simply digging up family history....my aunt wrote a book going back a long way on maternal side but grandma on paternal side never talked about any family so this idea could be a tossup

    Yes, all that science they had back there when the large creatures existed..some in caves.. Yes it is pure science they stored all that knowledge and it came forth recently. Just from a sample kit they get folks to pay. What a racket for curious folks.
