DNA family tree test - like 23 & Me... do not trust it!

[dan330]

hi guys... i thought these types of services.. 23 & Me.. would be very accurate.
Being advertised.. result are based on DNA test.

but there are just good guesses!! 50% guesswork. even the company reps admit it is guess work!
identical twins with different results!
and from 5 different providers!!!!

dont waste your $$ .. only use for entertainment !!!

knowing is half the battle.
acceptance is the other half?

I guess it depends on how much you can spend. If you can afford them all you might blow your mind!
Lot's of convergence in those tests.
Iko iko wan eh.

 

[dan330]

it is guess work.. based on facts..
so.. i guess it would have to have some common ... convergence in results.

a broken clock is right twice a day!

Better than that sir.
You just have do do your own research with the databases you bought.

I've done genealogy work for decades. It's amazing how accurately the DNA tests results match my research. I am talking Ancestry's DNA test (the only test I've taken) I've yet to find a match that I can't place in my family tree or someone I know in my tree that I do not match.
