old thread new tester
I did my kit for AncestryDNA today. I came to look for this thread to see if anyone else laughed as hard as I did. You get a test tube with a little cup on the top and you spit into the cup until the wavy line is reached. The insert says "It's easy, it's only 1/4 teaspoon!" It took me about 15 minutes to get that much spit. No kidding.
Reading through the whole thread, indeed multiple opinions on all sides. I don't have any kids, and most of my family is already gone, and I don't do genealogy. Why did I do it? I'm an info junkie.
This site has all kinds of options for keeping your dna private, for having it destroyed
after testing, for opting into or out of contacts...
I like to have things to look forward to, part of having and surviving cancer three times. The results take about 3 months, so looking forward to that!
