Ancestry DNA kit

I have not. I looked at Ancestry.com a few years ago but not that impressed. What a cute photo.

Our son received one for a Christmas gift several years ago. He wanted it so badly, and yet it took him half a year to get his sample sent in because he would always forget about it and have something to drink and then you cannot take your swab. My hubby and his siblings have a healthy dark complexion, and his mother was born out west, and our son was curious if there were any aboriginal lineage in his genes. there is not, but he enjoyed the kit just the same. I hope that you enjoy yours.

I had my DNA evaluated by 23andMe. not by MyHeritage, but the service is similar. It didn't tell me much about my recent ancestry that I didn't know already but it did reveal that my mother's ancestors - we are talking about several thousand years ago here - probably came from Northern Europe and the Russian Steppes whereas my father's line more likely came from the Middle East.

I had mine done several years ago and they are always updating it as they get more information about certain regions. I want to try the other major brand as well, I can't remember what it's called off the top of my head though.

I would never send my DNA to one of those companies.

Yes.it is cool but what if my ancestor,someone,was a rapist or murdered

I have one I have yet to use. I look forward to doing it. My sister did her husband's and her daughter, Amyra. My brother-in-law has a brother he's never met (his parents, poor at the time, gave him up for adoption, something I could not have done), so in case that brother ever does his ancestry, he can see him listed.

I think is interesting. I would like to do it. I want to see if there are any surprises. I know someone who did it who found out they had Italian ancestry..They did not know of that. That wouldn't surprise me too much to find that, but alittle bit.

I know my immediate heritage and ethnicity so I do not need to explore more. Good you will get some interesting results Vicky.

I have done my DNA at ancestry, Sorensen and family tree. I have then downloaded it to Gedmatch, my heritage and other places. I am really out there. I love DNA and it has helped me find lots of new relatives and confirm some others. It has answered some questions and created others lol I have joined a bunch of specific Irish DNA groups that connect Gedmatch and Facebook. I have been doing genealogy for over 30 years and these days I am a bit of a DNA expert having taken countless classes on triangulating etc. And your grandson sure is a cutie!!

No, I never had a DNA test. Both the ancestors of both the families of my father and my mother did not move a lot from the area where they were born, I know my father ancestors are from Celtic origins.

Cute photo. I've never had my DNA tested. My sister-in-law did it; and it was interesting.

I don't know. Hmm. I guess I really don't care one way or the other. I mean, don't get me wrong. I am sure it would be interesting. But to what end I wonder? Is it really "useful" information? I guess I can be for it merely for the entertainment value I guess.

I read about this years ago but never interest to find out. Is that your grandson?

I have never done that.

i joined a research group 'n 'donated' my dna fer crohn's studies some years back. 'd no intent 'f learnin' my heritage. now't seems i've o'er 1400 dna relatives who've done the same ('twas with 23&me). do i know any 'f 'em? nope. do i wish to? nope. but, some folks seem to feel that need, says't makes 'em feel whole. to each their own i suppose :)

that is interesting to know

I have been wanting to get a kit, but I always forget to get one on Black Friday.

Not something I am interested in doing though I understand why people would like it. I got my family history, the stories, from my great grand mom which I treasure more than anything.

That's interesting! I think it would be fascinating to have one of those that tells you about your health too. I think one of them does that. I wonder what you will find
