Anyone do it just to know? For cancer markers (breast cancer for your daughter perhaps)? Who your long long long lost great uncle was?

No. I do not need to put my DNA out there.

I did it recently to see if I have in me the Seminole blood the family legends swears is there. I do not. I’m entirely Northern European with a touch of Spanish blood, not counting trace elements. At the trace level, I have more East Asian genetics than I do Native American. My historical relatives are a bunch of dead Vikings, and my earliest relatives date back to Roman Scandinavia and the central Asian stepps during the time of the Exodus.

If someone in your family has done it they can track you down. I watched it on the ID channel. A 37 year old murder with over 3,000 famial hits. They got him. He pled guilty after they got him. The Golden Gate rapist and murderer too they got him. He was a real old man. A former cop.

My brother and I both did 23 and me. Kind of interesting to see what your DNA says

Have you compared your DNA with Turner's?

Have you compared your DNA with Turner's? He might be one of the dead Vikings they matched me to for all I know. He may be an immortal vampire lord. Although I guess that couldn’t make sense given how they describe the matches. The historical matches are made from archeological digs where they extract DNA from bones. They give you the specimen numbers you match to. I match to a bunch of early Medieval Vikings, early Roman-Empire-period Scandinavians, and barbarians from central Asia about 1500 BC, then some Estonians and and baby from the Faroe Islands from the 1500s-1700s. I’m otherwise entirely English and Dutch, with about 3% continental Spanish/Portuguese.

I did 23 and me too.
One step better was my Aunt. She researched my family on my dads side the old fashion way, letters, phone calls and research. Very interesting things were found out.

Well we all come from 1 pair of humans that spread, then got bottlenecked to 3 pairs of humans. So how you define “purity” defines how you define types of humans and when their lines started. I do believe Northern Europeans are a type as classified by look. They (we) are all basically sub types or mixes of German barbarians. English is itself a form of German. As the DNA analysts reckon it, I’m 95.9% Northwestern European, 2.9% Southern European. The NW European is English and Dutch with a touch of Scandinavian. The Southern European is Spanish/Portuguese. The remaining 1.2% is trace DNA from basically all the other world groups.
