Anybody ever do the ancestry.com DNA test ?

[Mikey]

If it didn't cost so much I'd do it just to see how accurate it is. I know my ancestry for generations back and it would be interesting if it matches what I know for a fact.

My father was adopted so that's what throws a monkey wrench in my ancestry.

My father's side of the family was wiped out during the 1918 flu pandemic.

He was the only one left.

They were all buried in mass graves at my local cemetery along with hundreds of other townspeople

Wish someday they'd put up a monument

Question, would my DNA be exactly the same as my sis ?

No, not unless you are clones. You get 50% of your DNA from each parent, but your sister did not necessarily get the same 50% from each as you did. There would be many genetic differences between the two of you.

It should be, Mikey, as long as you both have the same parents.

My nephew talked his mom (my sis) into trying it.

They did his dad already and got some fun interesting results.

Anybody else try this ?
