Thanks for that, my daughters results from 23 and me make more sense after reading your post. Her results didn’t make much sense. | |||

To attach to a historical person They can take a known genealogy created the traditional way (birth records, the census etc.) And use the DNA from the established descendant. This is especially helpful in cases where there are no records or they were lost in a fire. Now using DNA they can connect the dots and reestablish the genealogy. This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it. -Rear Admiral (Lower Half) Joshua Painter Played by Senator Fred Thompson | |||

there is a show on PBS called finding your roots with that Gates guy, I wonder who they use for their DNA junk. and another thing I wonder if people should be leaving hair samples , in a family box somewhere , so g,g,g,great grand people will be able to trace lineage back, for posterity Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency.

Sometimes you don’t want to know the actual real facts. Since the beginning of time until the last few decades, maternity has been a fact, paternity an opinion. Hair samples might be a good idea. Tubes of spit might be less so. Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me. When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown | |||

14 years after the death of a 69 y.o. uncle, someone from 1000 miles away, contacted a sibling wanting information on the uncle. turns out the stranger thought he was the uncle's son, hoping to find out stuff. well the sibling made time for the man and his wife to come by the house and answer stuff. turns out that the stranger was in the county for 5 days doing research . then never showed up at the siblings home.

Thanks for that link! I used it to go with a company by the name of "CRI Genetics". ____________________________ NRA Life Member, Annual Member GOA, MGO Annual Member | |||

Can you get DNA from the external hair? I thought you had to get the follicle. Hair could be matched to a known example. | |||

One of my paternal cousins has been doing family genealogy for a few years, and has found some lines going back more than 1,000 years. One of those lines shows a descendency from Rollo, the first Viking king of Normandy. Only it's 43 generations back, and actually through the concubine of one of his great-grandsons. So I wonder how that will be shown, even if at all. I just did 23andMe and am awaiting the results. Supposedly there is Native American in my heritage, so I'll see how that shows up as well. I fully expect to have majority of German and English Isles since that was the mix for the more recent generations. | |||

Let's hope that insurance companies never get their hands all of that DNA. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

I always joke about it, but one of these days I’m going to start a company called “Incestry.com.” All you southern folks will be able to figure out just who’s grandpa was their own before you, and which of your cousins are also your sister-wives. | |||

(is the Karmanator broke?) Smarter Every Day did a video about 23andMe a while back, shows the disconnect between the results and the identities. https://youtu.be/U3EEmVfbKNs _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||

I don’t need a dna test to tell me that my gene pool is short a chromosome. | |||
|
| Peace through superior firepower |
Yeah, your posts will suffice for that.  | |||

You simply contact them and they send you a cotton swab (inside your cheek) and you send it back. They don't know it's you or not. Now__putting that stick with the end wrapped in cottotton is someone else's cheek???? best of luck with that. Stay safe Poli Viejo | |||

I did this recently. The locations stuff really just confirmed what I already knew. The biggest surprises were: 1. Definitely no Indians. I did not find any in my past research yet looks and family stories suggested otherwise. 2. I have a lot of cousins that have submitted AncestryDNA. It's pretty cool that a lot of close cousins have done this. I had no idea they had. What it helps with is giving you a direction as to how you are related to the really distant DNA matches. | |||

Ask Senator Warren?  Our kids gave us the ancestry spit as a Christmas gift. Roughly my wife is 1/4 Iberian/Southern Med, 1/4 Native American, 1/2 European, which matches her parents known lines (her mom is from Peru, fam tradition was her mom was half Inca and half Spanish). I am 1/4 Scandavian, 1/4 Celtic, 1/2 European, which matches my grandparents heritage. "Liberty lies in the hearts of men and women.
