Anyone else get these DNA mapping done?

Very disappointed I didn't have any African-American or Native American DNA traces in my blood.
I'm just a typical WASP much to my dismay.
Thank Gawd, I'm a true Southerner ... I just couldn't handle being a Yankee descendant.
My great-grandmother was 50% Cherokee Indian but I didn't get the mitochondrial DNA passed on to me.
Such is the way with Natural Selection.

I always strongly suspected it was a scam and they would just make up your supposed DNA results. How could you tell if they did so?

Same as with your doctor's diagnosis of any cancer or disease.

I have an aunt who did it a few months ago. The only thing I remember in particular was Scandinavian. Whether or not any made it to me is anyone's guess. Pretty sure I'm a North Central European mutt in any case.

That's it for me ... my wife wanted me to.
I could not care less.
I'm me ... never been interested in ancestry except medical reasons.

You really only need 1 person in family to have it checked and share the results with siblings.

This would be true for the children but each of the parents would have their own separate lineage.

My ex tracked her family tree while we were married-----turns out I was a cancerous limb that needed to be excised.

.. which is why I said siblings.

Assuming they have the same father of course.

That's kinda how I've always been. Probably why I'd like to slap the out of some people who won't shut the friend* up on St. Patrick's Day about their 8th generation, 1/16th such and such from a place that was so great they left to come here.
