anyone had their dna checked?

I am not anything i thought i was and it is just crazy.

You might want to check with other companies. There was an experiment done by identical twins using separate addresses and last names. They both sent their DNA to be checked and it came back with different findings. These tests may not be all that accurate.
@cherokeepatti i want to talk to this person and see if it is true
@cherokeepatti i would like to see the info infront of me. it is probably percentages that are in question, not the person's nationality

@cherokeepatti I imagine some are more accurate than others.I do know that some results have been revised over time as they aquire more data from more sources. That does not surprise me at all.
My sister did this years after I sent mine out and I was notified of a direct ancestor (her)through my account.No one else but her among many other 2nd ,3rd,4th cousins,etc. We do not share the same exact ethnicity but do have the same parents
I'd say mine is pretty accurate based on what I know of my family,where they immigrated from and studying my family tree.
It is an interesting endeavor to be sure.
Yeah. I'm the whitest white girl ever. Like I needed confirmation beyond being sunburnt in 15 min flat in the shade.

@bijouxbroussard I would maybe write the company. It could just be something they haven’t discovered yet.

You could be a genetic pioneer. :-)
@SW-User i think you are trying to confuse me...
@SW-User i just sneezed a bit ago...does that mean my dogs are Polish now?
SW-User
I don't really see the point of it
@SW-User See? and isn't that really cool just to know that? i don't have that luxury. i have been dying for that my entire life. you have never had to ponder or fantasize. You know who you are...
SW-User
@LILY61 well I hope you find out everything you want to know.😊
@SW-User thanks

I should just to see if it's bogus, because I have my family tree traced back to the 1200s on both sides
Elinoria · 100+, F
@GJOFJ3 You should do it. My husband can trace his back even further than that and it is fascinating!
@GJOFJ3 WOW. lucky you. I don't even know what my real name is. And i put together all of the family names and locations so far that i have received and none match up.
SW-User
I had. I wanted to know since I get so many nasty racist comments in my family. I was surprised I got more from my mom than my dad (since I look like him). 52% of her ethnicity. It made me glad. They haven't said anything more on the subject since. 🤷
@SW-User i think they convinced me of who my father was but we were all wrong.
SW-User
@LILY61 Was it a bad thing to find out?
@SW-User i haven't seen my real family since i was 4 so i am shocked

I thought about it but figured I really didn't want my DNA on file.
@TimSummers she was the gorgeous sexy one. people make fun of her for stupid reasons. she was told the she was going to be the star of Gilligan's Island and was made fun of per being stupid. it could have just been the name of the island...so it wasn't stupid at all. she did not receive the fan mail the way Mary Ann did. Mary Ann received letters from mainly children. they could relate to her. Ginger got mail from dirty old men...most adults that would be into Ginger wouldn't write letters. She was a good actress that was not treated well on the show because people have a misconception about beautiful people. Beautiful people are standoffish because people are so cruel to them. Ugly people are ugly all the way through. Television and movies always portray this the opposite way because it is the ugly people writing the story.
TimSummers · M
@LILY61 What a very insightful answer. Makes me want to go back and re-think the whole Mary Ann vs Ginger debate. I don't 100% agree with your statement about beautiful people and ugly people. You can't judge a book by its cover.
@TimSummers I was a beautiful girl and woman in an ugly town and was treated like Donna Douglas in that Twilight Zone ep...I was nice to everyone and all they did was lie about me. This is what happens usually. The beautiful person didn't do anything and the ugly people lie about them to the point where it becomes a tale woe...."all beautiful people bad". I have only known one beautiful person that was actually horrible and he is the devil.

I was going to but I am scared that I might find out he is my brother:

I'm so curious. But it sounds like an expensive thing for doing it just for fun.

Nope. I am who I am.

My daughter did. Checked out pretty much. She is more Irish than Japanese. Kept telling her that.
@CereBellum cool...
@Nonamefornow wait for the sales on Amazon.
@LILY61 True. You can get virtually anything from them.

For ethnicity? I did and there were a few small surprises.
@Elinoria mine was all surprises...all of it
Elegy · 46-50
Yep, I'm 100% wanker.
Elegy · 46-50
@LILY61 An infliction.
@Elegy is there a cure?
Elegy · 46-50
Intense therapy and brainwashing so, no.
SW-User
ignore the test results
@SW-User why would you ignore the test results?
SW-User
I don't know@LILY61
SW-User
Mine was exactly what I expected.

@SW-User that is interesting. any surprises?
Yes because I have a genetic illness (muscular dystrophy)
@PiecingBabyFaceTogether i am sorry. did you find anyone?
@LILY61 lol what do you mean by "did you find someone?" I'm sorry it was a gene test I just got both of them confused 🤔 and thanks 🤗
@PiecingBabyFaceTogether i am sorry. did you find any one on any heritage site that could help you? anyone that you turned out to be related to that also has muscular dystrophy that you could talk to about it.
Nonamefornow · 51-55, F
Nope, but I’m thinking about it.
Yes, I posted a story about it.
