Probably the same with all, but it gives you regions on continents. Pretty cool, if indeed legit (I lean toward being a skeptic). Hard to quibble but I did wish it could have pinpointed a bit more. But still, pretty focused on given areas of origin. If nothing else, it’s entertaining. I haven’t tried to connect with distant relatives, but apparently that’s an option. Not really interested. lol
It was pretty cool how they give you a book that describes all your bloodlines. We never realized how much German we had in our family since my mother was adopted.
One funny part was it gives you a % of how much neanderthal you have. Avg is 3% my brothers measured 10%
23andme has ancestry-only kits for $50 right now Â
23 and you is on sale for $50 if you buy 2 or more, MyHeritage is also on sale for $50. Ancestry,com is $79 with each additional one after that for $69 each.
I was kind of leaning towards the AncestryDNA one just because they have the big network. But thinking about getting 4 or them so at $50 each is looking pretty attractive.
Do anyone think that AncestryDNA is worth the extra money???

one thing I left out is AncestryDNA identifies possible family members... most are "4th Cousins", but it identified a 2nd cousin with strong confidence

Did Ancestry. The family connection proved it to be valid as my brother did it year later and got added to my family connections as a close family/sibling.
I've actually traced one family branch back to the 1500's.
Happy with the results. Very informative about people connections and info about the stats about some of your genes. They e-mail you questions about your health, which they put in a data base.
But the BIG news is that my younger brother has a daughter he never knew about. They've gotten together, we've met, great family, great grandkids and, for me, nephews.
Turns out she was someone he knew when he was early in college or late high school.
that showed outraged posts by white supremacists on a 23 and me forum who compained that the tests showed they had a trace amount (less than 1%) of Asian, African American or Jewish DNA. they suspected that 23 and me was a Zionist/globailist conspiracy to promote multiculturalism and tolerance and reduce antisemitsm. so if 23 and me pisses off the likes of the KKK, I fully support that business!
Before this test I was always under the impression that I was part Polish, German, Russian/Eastern European, etc, and Judaism was my religion. I would be very interested to see the results for Sephardic and Middle Eastern Jewish populations, but don't happen to know anyone from the those backgrounds.

Cool thing was downloading the raw DNA and using promethease.com

Good to have BBI's opinion on them

J, the promethease.com link seems to be very interesting.

Now THAT was a great revelation.
