Finding your roots: DNA analysis for dummies.

Let us know how that goes because I was going to buy my husband a DNA kit through ancestry.com for Christmas but might use this site y'all are talking about if it works well.
“What screws us up the most in life is the picture in our head of what it's supposed to be.”
Also if your signature makes my scrolling mess up "you're tacky and I hate you." 
I'm guessing ancestry.com is a lot more expensive.

I'm very pleased with the 23andMe service, no complaints.

Edit Reason: fix a numeric error
)
So my girlfriend hasn't received her results yet... But I did, even though my sample went out two weeks after hers.
The results put me in maternal haplogroup H7 and paternal haplogroup N-M46 - the latter is said to be quite rare amongst 23andme testees (1:130000). Unsurprisingly, my heritage is 49% northwestern European (with British/Irish, French/German, and Scandinavian components, along with "broadly northwestern European), and 48.1% eastern European - unsurprising because our family history is said to be British/Welsh on my mother's side, and Lithuanian/Polish on my father's side. Add to that a smattering of "broadly southern European", "broadly European", Ashkenazi Jewish, and Oceanian. WTF on those last two? It's a tiny contribution but it came out of left field. The report claims that those contributions date back to the 18th century and prior.  RE: Finding your roots: DNA analysis for dummies.

No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.
My test came back "99.9% Irish/Something else that doesn't matter."

I also learned later today that at least two of the closet relatives that 23andme found (probably second cousins) share a surname with my maternal grandmother. It's a fairly common anglo surname but that and the genetic match are interesting to me. 
Dreaming is anglo??? I never would have guessed. Maybe they changed the spelling at some point.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
