Have you done the DNA test through Ancestry?

If so, how shocked were you by the results?

I've done two DNA tests and was not too surprised. The only surprise has been the number of people from Norway and Denmark who share links with me.

I believe the tests are as accurate as they claim, which is limited. My surprise links are through mitochondrial DNA passed down through my female ancestors. Since I can only identify my direct female line into the early 1800's, it is entirely possible the next female could have been from Norway or Denmark. Other known links have checked out as completely accurate.
