NO, but the ex was Leeds born and bred so the offspring now have a little of the west yorkshire gene pool in themOriginally posted by northernladuk View PostYou got any West Yorkshire in you?
Groupon appear to have a sale on of Ancestry products which oddly look like the same prices as the main site. Says 'Sale' and 'Discount verified' but the price is the same as Ancestry. Says 31 people have been conned in to buying it. Hate groupon.Comment

Determining heritage via genetic analysis is merely a statistical approximation - there's no magic gene that say's "you're Anglo-Saxon", just a collection of genes that give confidence. The more people that take it the more accurate it gets.Originally posted by northernladuk View PostI've been wondering what this DNA service is like from Ancestry.com. Anyone tried it? I see they've changed the algorithms as more people take it which has quite drastically altered the results so wondering if it's really worth it. Is it a bit of fun or does it actually come back with a load of useful information?Comment

Yep which is why they've changed their algorithms a few times much to the annoyance of some people.Originally posted by TheGreenBastard View PostDetermining heritage via genetic analysis is merely a statistical approximation - there's no magic gene that say's "you're Anglo-Saxon", just a collection of genes that give confidence.
