The Genealogy.com kit is great. The National Geographic kit is garbage.

Just pay the child support, deadbeat.

Is there one that pinpoints certain areas that your relatives came from? Not just 80% Italian 20% British, etc.

Thanks for the tip. Especially since you warned me before I bought five of them!
What makes one better than the other? Is it the lab doing the testing?

No chirren that I'm aware of. However, I did take the phone off the hook every Father's Day for about twenty years after college.

Interesting ... getting complicated, but interesting. I guess I've got to talk with my cousins from my mom's side and see if any of them have gone the DNA route yet.
My dad was an only child and his father was killed during WWII. I think he was also an only child, but I'm not 100% positive. My paternal grandmother had a bunch of siblings, but several died in the influenza pandemic. Don't know much about that side of the family.

79% Northern European result is the part that sounds strange

i'll put my athletic prowess against yours anyday (except on a road bike), pretty boy.

I did my Ancestry.com one and got:
-34% English
-34% Irish
-17% Scandinavian
My question is what is the timeline for this? I mean the Vikings invaded England (after it was invaded by the modern day French and earlier the Romans) and the English and Irish have been at each others' throats and crotches for millenia; so how is DNA determined to be "English" or "Scandinavian"?
I do think it "proves" my kids can't claim any sort of minority status and I'll be 100% on the hook for reparations...

True story, most people dont know that the vast majority of family crests out there are BS.

Shoot, Vikings invaded England, Ireland, France(Normandy), Germany, Denmark, Russia, America. Those dudes spread their seed across many continents and modern countries. You have to read the spiel on how they make whatever determination. There was so much migration in and around Europe from the neo-lithic onward, who knows whether their determination is accurate?

Rip off and you are a sucker to pay them to research your DNA.

But when Inside Edition had a set of triplets send their spit in to Ancestry.com and 23andMe, they got wildly different results from both services. Neither gave each triplet the same ancestry results — which, considering they all came from the same womb, is pretty weird.

The Cracked article then celebrates that the company throws “racists” off of on purpose by giving them fake results. Their source is “Morgan, who works for one of the major ancestry testing companies” so we don’t know which one….
