So I've been researching my family genealogy off and on for about 20 years and I'm thinking of doing one of those DNA testing things through Ancestry or 23 and Me. Has anyone here used one of these services and if so which do you prefer and why? Is it even worth it? Open to suggestions here. Thanks.

@WaevetSmaevets my wife used Ancestry and has been pleased with the results.

@WaevetSmaevets I used 23 and me. I was looking more for the medical markers, but I also found some 2rd and 3rd cousins. It was good for finding last names of other relatives. My brother is researching out tree and he used my results for that and said it validated some of his findings.

@WaevetSmaevets I used Ancestry. I really enjoyed learning more about my heritage. I had a couple of surprises that were interesting as well. If you have an ancestry account that you can link your tree to your results, that can be interesting.

@WaevetSmaevets am i the only paranoid af person who doesn’t trust any of these companies with my dna? Lol 😆 (yes, probably)
