What do you think about them when is comes to genealogy?
What do you think about them when is comes to genealogy?
Do you like them. Are they giving you any good information or help. They keep sending adds to my e mail.er ....... just what do you mean?
Do you know what Ancestry is? It's a business.I think baby mamas and baby daddies and artificial insemination are going to make future genealogies a nightmare!

LOL!!No my ancestors are all dead and have no access to life, technology etc.
If you are getting adds use the unsubscribe function and the block function in email.
I don't know... According to a woman I work with, she just lost 30% of her German ancestry somehow according to new results they sent her! Sounds like they're still working on the genetic testing technology, in my opinion. I think I'd wait until they have that figured out.It is great website from what I can tell.

But I guess that's not genealogy, exactly...
That makes sense. I figured it was something like that. However, it still is to be determined, then, how accurate the current results are, as well. Better, maybe, but probably not perfect yet.You're talking about their DNA tests. The recent update is a result of them expanding their reference samples, so you're friend should be happy that they were more accurate than before. Before the update, they only had 3,000 reference samples. But with the new update they now have 16,000, that's makes a huge difference. I went from 25% Eastern European to 31%, which isn't a huge difference. They increased my Great Britain from 5% to 25%, this seems very accurate. They refined my Scandinavian to be Swedish, my German increased I think several percentages. The rest are mainly the same. I use to have Finland/Northwest Russian, but they took that away. My Ireland /Scotland went from 11% to 3%, which is accurate in my opinion, according to my tree. I am more happy about the results than before, they appear more accurate. The only one that bothers me is the Middle Eastern and South Asian is completely gone, whereas other test sites say I have them both (ranging around 5%), and they gave me Native American. My family isn't NA at all, as far as I am concerned.
You're friend needs to realize that these are estimates, not concrete results. They will continue to improve their science (if you want to call it that), but his/her dna is the same.
