Yah! I did it years ago. Don't give a crap about who has my DNA info...chances are if you have a cellphone and had 1 blood test in your life, your stuff is already out there!
Secondly, its great for people who can't do family research...not everyone knows who there mother or father are. | |

I've done it. I had ordered it quite some time back, but hadn't done it and mailed it back to them. But after reading this thread, I decided to go ahead and send it to them. I was a little leary about doing it, but only because I learned a few years ago that my father was not my biological father and I have no idea who is. At the same time, I am interested in learning what my ancestry consists of. So I bit the bullet and mailed it in. They said they've received it and that it will 6 to 12 weeks to give me my results. | |

Well, I got my results back and it really doesn't tell you much. What it does confirm, however, is what I was afraid it would confirm, that my father isn't my biological father. His grandmother was born on a ship coming to America from Bavaria (Germany). My DNA only shows (low confidence) 4% Western Europe. With that close of a relationship and her being German, I would think there would be more Western European with a higher confidnce, than just 4%. It also gives you lists of people that share the same genetic coding somehow, that you may be 1st through 4th cousins. There is one that they are saying is a 1st cousin, but I know all my cousins and her last name is not a part of our family tree. So, I've messaged her to try to see how we are related. But here are my results. I'm a little shocked also because I've been told my entire life that there is Native American on my father's side, but....I have none. Great Britain = 60%Primarily located in: England, Scotland, Wales
Primarily located in: Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Austria, Russia, Hungary, Slovenia, Romania, Serbia, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova, Lithuania, Latvia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia
Primarily located in: Sweden, Norway, Denmark LOW CONFIDENCE REGION
Primarily located in: Belgium, France, Germany, Netherlands, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Liechtenstein Finland/Northwest Russia = 2%Primarily located in: Finland, Russia (northwest) Ireland = 2%Primarily located in: Ireland, Wales, Scotland
Primarily located in: Spain, Portugal Italy/Greece = 1%Primarily located in: Italy, Greece European Jewish = < 1%Primarily located in: Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Russia, Hungary, Israel | |

Well I know if my results come back anywhere near what benni's results are; I'm doing 2 test from 2 separate companies; then I will definitely know it's bogus, but from what I've seen it's close enough. | |

i did the National geographic dna geno ancestry testing kit, has anyone done this one?

AncestryDNA came in. It's slightly different. I would have sworn I was a lot more Senegalese, I favor a lot of people from there.

Do your children carry the trait. If they do and they have a child with someone who is also a carrier of the trait, then that child would have sickle cell. I believe it was explained to me that way. We as Carriers don't have the disease just the trait. I'm am glad they are healthy. The Natgeno, was really really interesting and yes went back far. Mine was more diverse than I anticipated. They don't give any medical stuff tho. I didnt want To see that | |

The DNA test are really fascinating tho, I have Jewish disporia African, Lapland, Eastern Europe, Irish/English, Thailand, and few others. It was at least 10 things so interesting!! | |
