I really want to do it, but it's quite expensive. I know I'm a huge mix of stuff and would be interesting find out exactly what.

They usually have deals on it towards the end of the year. You could wait until it drops down by 25-50% and pick it up.

Very interesting topic. My wife received a letter from a very distant relative in Aberdeen, Scotland. We exchanged letters and phone calls for a couple of years and eventually went for a visit. His information fit right in with information my father-in-law had collected years ago.

It is fun to get families talking about this at reunions, etc. you learn some good stuff, and there is usually some long held beliefs shattered!

Considering they're pretty consistent over several people, sounds pretty accurate.

Ok I'll be the doubting tom on this one, I've thought about doing the DNA BUT does anybody actually know who has access to your DNA after you send it in??

I don't really commit crimes, so i don't really care who has access to it to be honest.

If some federal agency really wanted my DNA, they'd just follow me around until i threw away a coke can or cigarette.

The name of the CEO of the DNA testing company wouldn't be Dom Tullipso would it?

Probably a safe bet, in my estimation.

If you have ever had a blood test or given blood they have your dna.

And if "they" want it, "they" can get it. So what if my DNA becomes part of some humaningenomous data bank or something? I don't care.
