@SW-User Did you kinda know already the results?

@SimplyTracie to be honest. I’ve done it with two different companies over the course of 10 years.
I’m desperate to extend one branch of my genealogy. It’s really interesting because one guy is a near match with the name I’m looking for but we can’t find a similar relative.
Then I did a 23andMe. Was I surprised? A little. The percentages were different than I expected. If you think about it, your grandparent gives you just 25% of your DNA. A great grandparent might have only given 5%.
My mom did a lot of work with genealogy (part of the reason I got the tests). Did it match up with her work. Yes.

@SW-User I think your mom is awesome to do that. Maybe she can help others with their family history.
I have heard of companies finding relatives. That’s awesome too.
