Still waiting but received interesting criticism for my doing the testing.
For doing it and for spending *my* money on it.
My answer to that is: mind your own business.
Firstly-if race matters, one has every right to use the technology available to test their ancestry.
Second-there is 'junk science' which does not test enough alleles, and only uses 12/12 markers, for example. And there is now much more thorough science to determine very closely what makes up 'you', racially.
I'm not afraid of it--and I wonder what the hyper-critical are so worried about? Fear=slavery.
I'm totally looking forward to it-I've found some interesting stuff re Greeks and Russians related to the Stuarts, and % of German is interesting to me also, since I found where Matthew Greunder came over in 1676 to NC, and the French speaking Swiss (Visinand) intermarried with a family called 'Neff' in Edenkoben, Germany and came to Pennsylvania.
White people used to pass an oral history down--we've broken that chain quite a bit and don't know some of these things-technology can fill in some of the gaps. It's awesome.
And a personal choice.
