Will do! I'm digging NinjaPoodle's results and I hope 23andme's will be just as cool.
In the meantime, if you type "23andme" into a Google image search, you can get an idea of what some of their health and ancestry reports look like. |
Thanks! :)

We're about to do 23andme too explore their different options. I already knew I was Caucasian-AA-NA from previous DNA tests but was surprised that my brother had the same percentages that I did; apparently, it doesn't usually work out that way.

You once mentioned that you used a company that will ensure privacy. Do you remember which one it is? Not that I'm paranoid or anything...! |

Has anyone done both ancestry Dna and 23 and me? |
I freely admit that I don't know enough about these kits. I was even given a free kit by ancestry.com, but never used it. I'm not sure that I'm comfortable with people being to access a database and say, "Ha! Honeychile's family has a tendency towards becoming serial killers! We need to keep an eye on her!" or something similar.
That said, I probably will break down and do this eventually. My one lineage on ancestry.com was hijacked by someone, and I'd love to prove her wrong. She has that my ggggg-great-grandfather married a Janet Harvey, and he did not. He married Jeannette Giffin. My mother & I spent about a month's worth of hours proving this marriage, and yet, ancestry.com has bastardized my lineage with Janet Harvey. I'm still fighting the Janet v. Jeannette battle with them and it's terribly frustrating. I'd love to see the DNA results for the Hijacker and for me, to prove who's right on this! As an aside, when my mother & I decided to get serious about genealogy, we asked ourselves whether we wanted the pedigree societies or our own heritage. We chose our own heritage, wherever that would take us. I'm not about trying to be something I'm not - which is why I'm so frustrated with the Hijacker!! |

All of our ancestors who weren't white came from Louisiana. I know that my great great grandmother was NA (the DNA tests only confirmed what we already knew) but all attempts to find out which tribe have come to a dead end. She was probably Coushatta. |

I have to admit that I missed most of last season's episodes. Tonight's was great, even though a little painful. At least Ginnifer didn't try to cover up her ancestors like Ben Affleck!
|
How have I never heard of this show? I'm obsessed with genealogy.
Edited to add that I did a two week free trial with Ancestry a couple of years ago. Thanks to my similarly genealogy obsessed dad and a second cousin who gave me info before she passed ( :'( ), I had some good info. |

Welcome to the thread. Read through this one because there is a wealth of information you might find useful. I know I did. :) Ginnifer's episode was heartbreaking but I was glad to see her follow through with her great grand mothers story. From the previews, I'm really interested in seeing all of the celebs histories but moreso J.K. Rowling and Alfrie Woodard. |
