Ancestry or 23 and me

Have you done your DNA history with either company?

I did Ancestry back in 2015, doing 23 and me right now. I can’t wait to see the results.

I have done it with MyHeritage and the results were not too surprising.

I do actively research my ancestors through various sites and was able to trace some back to the early 14th. Century. An interesting but time consuming occupation.

@Stephie oh wow, that’s awesome!

@SW-User I have been doing ancestry research for 3 years now and boy, is it ever complicated. The records, as collected by familysearch.com are unreliable, not because they do a bad job collecting them but because the priests that did record the data were barely able to write and did partially a miserable job.

Women were seldom recorded by their maiden names but often by "wife of XYZ" or just by their first names.
