Ancestry DNA Testing
Posted on 11/4/15 at 1:38 pm

I see that ancestry.com is now offering DNA testing. It costs $99, but I can't tell from the site if the information it gives would be substantial enough to warrant doing it. Anyone here done it or thinking about doing it?
ETA: It's $99, not $500. Marijuana is good for you.

I don't need my DNA on file until the statute of limitations runs it's course.

i'd be afraid of the results

$500?? I had it done with 23andme for $99 each, discounted for additional kits. I'd say start with the cheaper kits first.

Edited, it's $99 there, too.

Good point. Wait a minute. That means I can't do it at all.

I've done it, it's pretty cool. Nothing mind blowing or anything but it gives you a breakdown of where you are from. 40% Irish here

So, it will reveal if you have any Sub Saharan African in you?

How long to get your results?

Would be worth it just for the right to use the Nword.

yeah I would think so. It broke down the percentages of areas and displayed a map. It actually said <1% Nigerian for me and I'm as white as they come. pretty funny.

Have used it extensively. If you are into genealogy it's a good deal. Worth the money.

So those emails about your rich dead uncle in Nigeria might be true?

I did it. It will link you to other relatives that have done it and will show your genetic makeup. I thought it was cool and pretty interesting

Yes, something to that affect.

If I remember right, it says that it's better if a male member of the family donates his DNA. Not sure why.
Just incase you are female.
