Mom wasn't close to her side of the family, but I know the basics. Not much is known about my Dad's mother's part of the family. But I don't really care Kinda reminds me of a cousin that tries to get me to join some group of descendants of Mayflower survivors. But meh, I wasn't on the boat so I don't care My brother had it done. Father was Sicilian and as you’d expect there were bits of DNA from parts N, S, E & W. That was what interested me. I’m glad he got it done because I wasn’t about to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You get genes from both sides of family but not necessarily same ones. Testing can reveal something in Y chromosome which would not be seen by testing in this case sister. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marv's Neighbor Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I have not, but a friend told me that she had to answer so many survey type pre-test questions, that she felt as though she was already handing them all the information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A single person can show markedly different ancestry, depending on who's interpreting the results. It's not an exact science. In fact, it's not even very good science.

It is not so much as a test but a survey. I do not believe there is a standards organization for these testers. Having said that I'd be interested in results of test since I do not know ancestry from one side of family since my father divorced when I was 3 and only time I have seen or heard from my maternal mother side of family except at her wake.

It's not the genetic side of the tests that vary. It's the anthropological side. Unless you're looking at populations that, for whatever reason, are relatively isolated, they end up being very fuzzy statistical measures, largely because people wildly underestimate how much mankind has migrated in the distant past. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
