Wife and I sent our DNA to ancestry.com as a Christmas gift to each other just for fun and information. What came back was very “general” and there was nothing that we didn’t already know from some research we did a few years ago. Sort of disappointed. We figured we had nothing to hide from anybody and didn’t give security matters a second thought. However, I know some friends and acquaintances who are close to being paranoid about their private matters and security to the point that it has become the major priority for them. Just because your credit card may be compromised is no reason to quit using credit cards. Its quite okay to have concern about your personal information and be careful not to give out certain personal information (i.e. Soc. Sec #’s, address, phone numbers to perfect strangers, etc). “Everything will be all right with you, when you are all right with everything”. anonymous
