[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A few of my friends have used these to learn their genetic makeup, so my mom, DH, and I are going to give them a try too.

I'm just excited and want to hear about others' experiences.  Have you discovered anything unexpected?  [/quote]

Well, I found out that my "Cherokee" heritage that the family talks about turned out to be African :)[/quote]

My family, too. That's pretty common.  It's acceptable in the US to be a little bit Native American, but until recently it was never acceptable to be a little bit black. [/quote]

My husband did 23 and Me and his mom did Ancestry.  His mom said that they always talked about being part Native American, which I doubted since I was working on their family tree.  The test showed only European-based results, and nothing listed under trace amounts.  In the end though, it was useful for us to see where most of his genetics come from since his dad's family has been in the US since the 1600s while his mom's side was more in the early 1800s.

I took the Ancestry test last year and didn't expect much of a surprise.  As far as I can go back, my family has always been from the same small region in a European country, and we didn't leave until my parents and I immigrated here.  My results reflected that fact immediately.[/quote]

which do you think is better?  23 and me or ancestry?  I'm only interested in doing this to find out ancestry not connect with relatives or find out health info.  Thanks![/quote]
