Not expecting it to tell me what I'm going to die from , more interested in where my bloodline has immigrated from, since I'm adopted.

Anyone used the service before, and have any thoughts?

Thanks!

i got to do it for free as part of a study of IBD, it was pretty neat to show the breakdown

I did it. I'm adopted and was always told my biological mother was Irish. Turns out there is no Irish on my mom's side, but there is some on my dad's.

It's pretty cool, and worth the money IMHO.

I did it to find out what I was. Easy to do. Got an interesting report. Worth $99.

Supposed to be pretty accurate?

Might try that. Adopted as well and kind of curious.

I wonder how young you can send in a sample? Would like to know a little more about our kiddo.

As long as they are old enough to fill a test tube half way with spit you should be able to send it in.

He's about to start teething, so might be worth a shot.

Doesn't look like it'll work until he can spit.

Note that children's drool (found outside the mouth) does not contain sufficient amounts of DNA for analysis; only saliva (found inside the mouth) can be used.

Really thinking about doing this just to finally see how strong my Native American heritage is. I've heard lots of stories but nothing definitive.

I already know about my French background, PUTU. One of my great grandmothers was the first in that line of the family who could speak a language other than French. You won't hear me complain, though. My mom's Cajun cooking is out of sight.

Yeah I had a friend who always thought they had a good portion of native American in them, turns out they had none. They did have some African in them though.

Ancestory has DNA testing for $69 right now

Got my AncestryDNA results yesterday. I'm about as white as a person can be.

12% Ireland
6% Finland/NW Russia
5% Western Europe (has to be France via Canada and Louisiana)

Me too, had more Scandinavian and less Irish than I thought. But like I thought I am a mutt.
