DNA/ancestry
Have any of you taken this test? If you have, did it come out like you expected?

An older friend of mine who had been telling people for years that she was part(%?) native american found out, nope, not at all. Largest percent european (irish), second mediterranean (jewish).
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

My little brother did, after his dad died young.  Came out like he/we expected.  Mutt.

I haven't, but my cousin has spent at least a decade now plotting out our entire family history on my mom's side of the family. I know that side pretty well and it mostly traces back to Scotland. My dad's side on the other hand... well, I'm not even going to start guessing. That's like trying to figure out what that one crazy dog at the pound is beyond calling it a mutt.

Yeah, pretty much. Pick one of every European country, a bit of Native, and then a raccoon and two possums. That's my dad's side.

I haven't yet. I just know my biological father is Cuban and my mother is creole. So I'm probably At least 60% sub-Saharan African (though mom suspects a bit of East African by looks of some of the cousins, she thinks we may be a little Pygmy), 30% European (not sure what's what but I I've got French and Spanish maybe Irish), and tiny bit of native not as much as my mom or gramother who have Wyandot and Sioux. They don't really like to talk about their mixed heritage, I think because my mother got picked on.

Don't know, don't care. Two reasons why:

1. My forebears, are far as anyone can tell, are all from Ireland.

2. I don't want to know my health as regards my DNA. My luck, everything will be fine and I'll be so happy to get a clean bill of health that I'll dash out of the doctor's office in a paroxysm of joy, only to be hit by a bus.

Don't be presumptuous. There's always the possibility that geneticists will locate the bus-attracting gene (I suspect that it will occupy space on the same chromosome that carries the ignore-the-Wet-Paint-Do-Not-Touch-sign gene).
