my wife's family is from Puerto Rico . Since that Island is a mish mash of origins -- she decided to do it . She was surprised about her background --almost shocked .
I did it this year and wasn't really surprised --- mostly European ---with lots of Irish , German and Swedish . There are a lot of locks you can put them on with how your DNA is shared .
With that said , once you submit , they will bug you monthly to ask you permission to share your info --- I just said NO .

Wife's friend found out that her deceased dad was not really her dad - resulted in an interesting discussion with her mother. That was three months ago and she's still quite upset.

My mom, my sisters and I have done it. Confirmed most of what we knew, but did just recently get contacted by a 2nd cousin 1x removed of my mom's that nobody was aware of. He was apparently the product of an affair one of my mom's second cousins. That second cousin died in 1967 in a motorcycle accident in Arizona shortly after the birth of this man. The guy just wanted to know what happened. He said he's been lied to by his mom his entire life and isn't sure his mom is his actual birth mom since none of her relatives are showing up on his DNA.

The 3 months free is cool, but you can go down some rabbit holes. I have been able to find high school pictures of my grandmother and other relatives. I also have been able to confirm some African ancestry on my paternal grandmother's side, which is hilarious because she was a horrible, hateful racist. So I wish she was alive so I could laugh at her and tell her that she hated that which she is/was. Racists are freaking idiots. I'm so grateful my mom's side was not racist. It was cool to find a half-Caucasian half-Filipino cousin and a half-Caucasian half-Japanese cousin on my mom's side that nobody was aware of. A couple of my mom's uncles met some locals it would appear and got friendly.

I have just under 100,000 relatives that are genetically related to me that have shown up on Ancestry...it was more, but they have changed how they do things.

DoD personnel are NOT allowed to do this…just a hint

No one`s getting my DNA without a warrant. Let the ghost stay in the closet.

Wife and I both took it and we found out we are related

I'm from Oklahoma, my family tree only has a fork or two in it.

Did any relative or friend have tires on top of their trailer?

I found my biological mother who put me up for adoption. I thanked her for not killing me.
I met my half brother in person and we would be great friends even without being brothers.
Bio mom is from Ukraine and Bio dad from Russia HAHA. I [censored] you not!

BTW Bio dad is deceased.

This is how 1shot and Sawhorse found out they were separated at birth.

A minister in the small town in Montana got a call from a young lady that said he was her dad. DNA said so. He and the wife didn't know. Perhaps I should have said ex-wife.

We are our own worst enemy.

“We have met the enemy and he is us”

John Connor: We're not gonna make it, are we? People, I mean.

The Terminator: It's in your nature to destroy yourselves.

John Connor: Yeah. Major drag, huh?

My sister did it. Not a lot of interesting stuff other than percentages on where our ancestors originated.
