[quote=Anonymous]I've done both Ancestry and 23 and Me. I work on my family's genealogy so Ancestry was the most useful for that. I was able to solve some "brick walls" because of someone matching me as a third cousin. The last name was one that my grandfather had mentioned. I was able to uncover a whole side of my family because of DNA matches and their tree information (which I verified myself too).

It's also interesting that I have matched with people who share something like a sixth-great-grandparent--colonial American ancestors, which I had traced already. That amazes me.

DNA on Ancestry was a game-changer for my genealogy research, but it's something I've been into for years, and I know it's not that interesting to a lot of people. Also, people do uncover secrets; it's pretty common.

23 and Me is not really useful for genealogy for me. I did see some health information but it was confirmation of what I knew rather than anything new. I know two adoptees who have used both and found birth parents and families.

I think it depends on what you are searching for.

I hate that there are sinister implications with this, but I guess that was inevitable.
