@Noel7 No. No brothers and I haven't seen my father in over 25 years.
Then you and I are stuck with only half, at least for now, phooey. @Laura14

@Laura14 I am in the same situation as you....no brothers and my Father is gone.

Yes I have. There rae people showing up as 1st and 2nd cousins that I have no idea who they are. If this correct there was some hanky panky going on somewhere.

@char1976

We had over 1,000 "cousins" show up ... no 1st, but lots of 2nd and 3rds. Only one person showed up with a surname I recognized. We have the same great grandparents. His grandmother is the sister of my grandfather.

We've been in contact and plan on meeting aftere the holidays.

But before that ....

I was more interested in our "ancient origins" and the migration routes our ancestors took out of Africa, across the Middle East into Europe with the "metal age invaders." It all makes sense!
@ALRATIBA

23 & Me traces the matrilineal line to Africa and can tell us what region they were from.

They also report the number of Neanderthal variants someone may have.

@Noel7 They told me in a the report that I had a higher number of Neanderthal variants than most people tested.... I do not know why that would be of interest?

@SeaMaiden

I suppose because it affects us. Our hair and skin, a few other things, and a predisposition to certain auto-immune problems including Diabetes 2 and Lupus.

And some people just think it’s cool, as we discover more and more about Neanderthals as opposed to the old stereotypes. I’m 4+%.

How can this testing tell you about religion? Judiasm ia a religion not something that would show up in DNA. Sounds like a scam.

@Noel7

Good to see you! Hope you're doing better.

For Christmas, my sister and I are getting ancestry kits for my other sister and her daughter, who was adopted from Russia. My niece is rather curious about her background, and we're also letting my sister do hers so she can compare with her daughter.

A nice mother and adopted daughter gift, we think.
