TheCyborgNinja 01/14/18 12:59:40 AM #1:	My mom is so proud of "being British" and then her number one result wasn't even from the isles (though two and three were). I guess her family didn't move around much where a mass migration of Angles landed and there are some anglicized surnames from the 1700s (and earlier) in her family tree that were originally German. My dad and I found this exceptionally amusing, as he's about 95% German (genetically, he wasn't born there) and if either of us pissed off my mom enough, she'd go with a "blinking Germans!" and so on, complaining about stereotypes that she felt applied to the situation in a moment of frustration... Of course, we would not let her results go quietly because of that. Even my wife joined in. It was pretty funny how defensive she'd get about it too... Over time it became less amusing though so we stopped. Tangent: I wonder if anyone has ever paid somebody else for their spit to get a "sure thing" desired result. It seems utterly stupid, but so are the people doing these tests for bigoted reasons. --- "message parlor" ? do you mean the post office ? - SlayerX888 <cite>TheCyborgNinja posted [p:894012664] in Anyone do ...

I want to try Family Tree DNA and then 23&me. There is also a test specific to black Americans to discover their African heritage, but that one is the most expensive of all. That sounds cool though. There aren't a lot of black people where I live, but all the ones I seem to meet are either from Nigeria or were originally babies adopted from Haiti, with virtually no exceptions. I'd probably do one more if it was particularly accurate and compare results with what I already have. The big advantage I've had is both my parents' families were able to search back through various records to the 16th century in some cases. They didn't move around very much either, which probably helped with that a lot. The majority of my family today, in terms of numbers, are in the UK, then Canada, then Paraguay (wtf?!). Everyone else, wherever they are, are probably 8th cousins and stuff and not close enough to be worth investigating. --- "message parlor" ? do you mean the post office ? - SlayerX888 <cite>TheCyborgNinja posted [p:894015669] in Anyone do ...

NeoSioType 01/14/18 8:43:48 AM #27:	This reminds me of a pulse-tracker wristband I got for Christmas one year. Can you believe it needed an internet account to display offline data? I wasn't sure whether to laugh or be insulted by how they tried to downplay the issue in their abridged terms of service. In much the same way, Ancestry keeps these records. They can say they have no intention of disclosing them but they have no choice in the matter when given the appropriate warrant. You don't need to be a criminal to be at risk. Yours and even the test results from family members can used to build a case against you in court. I wouldn't worry too much if you're already in their system but the prospect of bad luck is something you have to live with. <cite>NeoSioType posted [p:894023757] in Anyone do ...

His dad during college apparently sired someone in a one night stand and never knew about it because he and the mother didn't have contact with each other due to the circumstances. --- Your palace may last forever, but my yurt can go anywhere. <cite>eating4fun posted [p:894058476] in Anyone do ...

If it was coming out of my pocket, I probably wouldn't have bothered. I'm about 3/4 German (73% Western Europe, but we can figure out where that all came from going back hundreds of years, and it's all Prussian from the looks of it based on geography and surnames). I got that from both my parents, obviously. The next ones were solely from my mom's side... Ireland/Scotland/Wales was second with 14%. Great Britain was next with 6%. The other three were trace regions. 3% respectively for Scandinavia and Finland/NW Russia with 1% Eastern Europe rounding things out. We assume the Scandinavian is Danish and the Eastern European is Polish (there's a Germanicized version of a Polish surname on my dad's side), but don't know with 100% certainty. As for Finland/NW Russia, it was a total surprise and we can't explain it. There's no evidence supporting that anyone in my family ever lived there, so it must've been somebody from that region migrating to Prussia... --- "message parlor" ? do you mean the post office ? - SlayerX888 <cite>TheCyborgNinja posted [p:894065083] in Anyone do ...

Doctor Foxx 01/17/18 9:04:35 PM #40:	Also: if it's your wife trying to find out information about her father, she should ask her mother to do the testing with the same service. https://customercare.23andme.com/hc/en-us/articles/202908000-Do-men-and-women-receive-different-ancestry-information-from-23andMe- That way you can see exactly what is linked to her mother and what isn't.
