The flip side of this, I gave my wife an Ancestry gift card, and 18 months later she gets a call about a CLOSE relative. She found a long lost sister (over 70 years) and the sister found a whole new family, and the sister and her husband (who also gave her an Ancestry kit) are now living in FL.

If you've had kids, you've already given it away! What THEY do with their DNA info is up to them.

So please explain your comment in detail:
1) how to be careful
2) what to watch out for
3) signs that you failed to be careful


or is this just general fear mongering of the unknown. .

thanks! we can all learn from your wisdom

Our oldest wanted to add forensic DNA PHD once he retired his practice in the US to live in UK. I am 231 (of 1026) pages of research for his thesis.

All testing privately, using bone DNA from 4 generations of native ancestors. Then comparing to modern day tribe DNA. Six generations in Europe from my father’s side.

He jokes about who actually runs $39 base DNA testing on public sites. Sometimes certificate is all that is needed.

His 10 years in Europe he opened a DNA business to identify human remains. For government and private entities. In some areas of Europe one can’t dig a new flower bed without finding a bone or two. New Mass Plague sites are still found to this day.

Yes, and my husband loves to tell this to people. He thinks it’s hilarious.
