re: Ancestry DNA Testing

I'd like to see an example of one of these

I think he means grandfather, not girlfriend.

I did it on 23andme for 99$
50% French (Cajun) and 50% German from mom

100% honky

From 23andme

that's a google image


I'm almost all French

So what makes one company better than the other (Ancestry DNA vs 23andnme or whoever else does this)?

I did it last year. Pretty interesting I guess, but its just so hard to know if its accurate. Its not too dissimilar from palm reading. If they're vague enough, you can spin it into being true.

I have been told that I have Native American ancestry, but that's pretty hard to verify on paper. Sure enough, the results show 6% Native American, but that would include everywhere from the North Pole to South America.

66% of my DNA (again, allegedly) is from "Europe West", with a separate 14% being from Ireland, and traces from Iberian Peninsula (4%), Scandinavia (2%), and less than 1% from Italy/Greece, Finland/Russia, and Europe East.

There are different explanations in the results that kinda make it make more sense. For example, I knew I had English ancestry, but apparently the clans or tribes or whathaveyou that populated the British Isles lived at one point in present day Germany, France, Poland, etc. So, that would explain the "Europe West" as the gene pool would predate the geo-political boundaries.

So, if its not bullshite, its a good basis for where your ancestry comes from on the globe, but it won't tell you that your family comes from Madrid, Spain.

mine came back that i am a white male.

kept me up all night thinking about it.

That's more than double. I've identified your weak math DNA. That'll be $50. I accept PayPal.

My mother did it recently---very cool!
