I did it about a year ago, and it came back with a couple of results that I expected and maybe two results which weren’t. My family does trace itself mostly back to England, and part of this did agree with that.
For decades, one element of the family had talked of native American Indian ancestors (a legend in the family). Well...NO, there was zero evidence of that. So that legend was finally put to sleep.
But there was a fair amount of suggestion in the tests to lead back to France (actually finding later that two ‘strings’ of the family tree came from France). One element of the family lived in a remote valley in the south of France for a long, long time. And a second element had come out of Normandy, but was only there for two generations...having come from Denmark originally.
I will caution anyone taking the test, it opens some doors you might not like (you might find that of the four sons in the family...you don’t line up with your dad, and there’s some story that is best not to be told). The data with the DNA? Most companies say it’ll be held in a private way, but their intent is some massive database which they can eventually sell in some way.
I found out I was 2% Congolese. I think that should qualify for reparations.
