You think that kit's going to give me a surprise?

Husband found his bio family thru Ancestry.
His son was having seizures and there was a need to know if it was genetic or not and moms family didn’t have any history of it. Turns out his full bio sister has epilepsy.

They probably sneak in a 1% black for all European descent just to frick with them.

I did one a couple months back and am mostly Ashkenazi Jewish but says my people came over to America from Eastern Europe. Shows Slavic land is where they’re from, but nothing in my DNA says I’m Russian, Polish, or anything like that. I find that a bit odd.

nd, yes, I know “don’t give your DNA away” I get it,
how can anyone willingly put their DNA in a vial and send it off to one of those CIA-dna testing businesses??
idiots deserve everything they get.

yes, my mother's father was a Frenchman...but neither of my parents show any French?
maybe Northwestern Europe is considered France?

At least if you claim black you have a claim.
Unlike Elizabeth Warren claiming she was Cherokee.

Oopsies. Just an honest hack
DNA testing firms share you data with government
put another W in the conspiracy theorists column.

Germany?
They were from there and migrated east into these places.

What are they going to do with my DNA? Engineer a disease that only affects those who did an Ancestry kit? Clone me and replace me in the middle of the night with someone slightly more pro-government?

It does say I have German and French.

We bought those kits for my parents ~10 years ago, when they took the test it was no surprise that my parents came back mostly French heritage.
What was a surprise was a few years later someone several states over matched up with my dad and it turned out his grandfather had a few kids with a side piece. Nothing ever really came of it though.

Yes. My neighbor’s wife looks like Dolly Parton but allegedly has some Sub-Saharan Negro in her. No one saw that coming…

I would almost guarantee this is the case. If you know who your great grandparents are, and they are all white then the chances that you had a black relative in the early 1800s is hell a slim.
I think every person I've talked to has "1%" black. Seems like complete bullshite and makes you distrust any of the other details.
