Did the results of your test give you all the details you desired?

This is a great article that summarizes this type of testing and how variable it is. [now.tufts.edu]
Hope this helps!

It is all a con, sorry. All they do is research back in you ancestry history and take the information from there. Try it, give them your wife's sample and your details and you will get back your history.

Yes, I think my results are accureate. My DNA shows slight traces of Actez or Pima ancestry and I also have traces of African (Bantu) ancestry. The rest is European.

My husband ordered us both kits from Ancestery DNA a few months ago. When we got our results most of what I knew was verified, of being 90% English DNA the only thing that really surpised me was that one of my great grandmothers was an Irish Immigrant and I only had 4% Irish and some Russian peppered in.

There also was no Norweigian DNA when my Great Grandfathers family migrated from Norway to Canada when Nazis took over his family home to use for communication tower.

Though Ancestry did nail the migration pattern perfectly with all we knew of tracing my other grandmothers family history, with them migrating to Newfoundland, Canada in the late 1600s with a great grandfather a few times past being an English Naval captain. (They found captains logs and Union Jack in attic of 200 year old family home a few years back while renovating).

My husband on the other hand who thought he was second generation Mexican American came out as being 64% Native American and he had more Irish DNA than I did! He then found out both his grandfathers were both Americans born in USA.

It explained why his beard grows out bright red and our youngest son has red hair when no one in my family that I know of has.

We did get a kick over how he had a few relatives who weren't pleased he was marrying a "white girl" knowing now he wasn't the only one who had. He always told them "shes Canadian here on a green card so get over it!" Now he has a few more creative responses to it next time it comes up.

I was going to do this, but then I saw this . . .

"we’re guessing that when you signed up for Ancestry or 23andMe, you probably didn’t read the fine print to find out what, exactly, those companies plan to do with your data. We can’t blame you—they’re long, boring polices written in legalese that’s difficult to understand. If you actually read those policies, though, you might not have gone ahead with the test. It turns out that the breadth of rights you are giving away to your DNA is kind of terrifying.

Lucky for you, Gizmodo slogged though every line of Ancestry.com, 23andMe, and Helix’s privacy, terms of service, and research policies with the help of experts in privacy, law and consumer protection. It wasn’t fun. We fell asleep at least once. And what we found wasn’t pretty.

“It’s basically like you have no privacy, they’re taking it all,” said Joel Winston, a consumer protection lawyer. “When it comes to DNA tests, don’t assume you have any rights.”

In general, it’s always a good idea to read the terms before you click. But because we know there’s a good chance you won’t, here’s what you need to know before giving away your genetic information.

Testing companies can claim ownership of your DNA"

I did a 23 and Me as well. Turned out I have zero Scandinavian or Russian despite what others thought. I'm mostly 'British/Irish' and some 'largely Western European' which, I think, is genetics-ese for 'I dunno, white?'

I'm adopted and it was a closed adoption, as was standard for 1974, so this is the best I've got. :/
