Genetic Testing

Has anyone done one of the genetic testing kits?

If so, what are a few of the most interesting facts you found out about some your ancestors?

And why can getting this info be bad? (You won’t be the only one with access to this info)

  1. Elizabeth Warren sent her DNA to be tested and there were no Native American DNA to be compared to. So, they compared her DNA to countries South of our border. The small trace of Hispanic DNA gave rise to many jokes on her not being a Native American.

    Well, Native Americans don’t give DNA samples to the Government. We learned not to trust the Government, and we don’t give away part of our physical bodies. We know what our heritage is. We know enough about our ancestors. We don’t want our DNA on any data bases.

  4. That stuff isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.

    “Last spring, Marketplace host Charlsie Agro and her twin sister, Carly, bought home kits from AncestryDNA, MyHeritage, 23andMe, FamilyTreeDNA and Living DNA, and mailed samples of their DNA to each company for analysis.

    Despite having virtually identical DNA, the twins did not receive matching results from any of the companies.”
