Six years ago, like you:

I had my doubts about getting my DNA test.

Several first/second and third cousins had already done their DNA’s so it was a moot point.

It didn’t matter at that point, the police/anyone already had my DNA.

At a family meeting, 6+ years ago, my family members were not interested in identifying dead and live relatives. So they told me to enroll in History.com and send my DNA to them. My family bought me a History.com test for

35,000 DNA’s have been posted since then, and my family could care less.

That’s unfortunate.

I have a daughter of a first cousin that is building on a family history started by my mother and one of my mother’s cousins.

That daughter is always working on the family tree and updates us every year at a family reunion.

No one in my family is really interested either. A few years ago my brother told me that he did ancestry DNA a couple years prior and then showed me the results, which made me excited to order my own. Then when the results came I posted them to him and was talking about them a little bit and then he says I’m really not that interested anymore :( my mom couldn’t care less and my dad passed away last January. Now he would have been very curious, had he not had dementia. Husband and I did ancestry DNA, our daughter did 23andMe, and she got some Polish results whereas her father got Chekoslavakia/ Romania/ Russia, kind of a broad Eastern Europe, but we know his ancestors were Slovak.
