    DNA test
    Has anyone submitted a sample to 23andme or ancestry? I'm wanting to give it a try but curious to hear some feedback first. Anyone?

    No, dont waste your time and money, its almost impossible to find your true heritage as far as anything you will really care about. Even when you go back 4 generations you have 30 grandparents which even at that point could be mixed with anything.

      My wife swabbed her mouth and sent it off and the results came back as "Auto Donk Pos"

      Looking into that

        Well neither of those responses are encouraging. I'll dig deeper before I decide to try it then.

            I've submitted numerous DNA samples to the shower drain and it ultimately came back as a $118 bill from Roto-Rooter.

              I'm also curious if anyone has tried it. I hear the radio commercials for 23andme and I have to admit they have my curiosity piqued.

                    Never give your DNA to strangers. It could be stolen and planted on a crime scene and you could end up in jail.

                      I got the test and it was accurate. Usually people posting things above are the people who get back results saying they are 20% sub sharian and are in extreme denial.

                          Watch the special 60 minutes did awhile back, probably on youtube somewhere about it. Its a fraud, if you think about all the people involved with you being here so many generations ago is virtually impossible to know.

                            Its an interesting idea. I have my family history and generation stuff etc

                            I do think that it would be interesting to see what race build up a person is but for the most part can't you just look in and the mirror and ask where your grandparents came from?

                              I had a friend who was adopted. White guy with darker skin and dark hair. He knew his birth mom was white but he thought maybe his dad had some strong italian genes or something. He finally got to the age where he could do some research about his birth mom. He contacted her etc and there is a lot to it but it turned out his biological dad was Native American.

                              So I sort of just invalidated some of the points i made in my earlier post

                                  It's just like any company trying to make money worldwide. It's practically for entertainment purposes only.

                                  Ancestry.com is the same BS
