I don't need a DNA test to tell me why I originate from.

If you didn't already know, you are descended from royalty....

And what will you do with this information? How is it going to help you in further life?

I never did it to "help me in further life".

I was merely curious to see whether or not my background was as pure-blood Celtic as I had always suspected.

Turns out it is.

Exactly. I don't need a DNA test to tell me why I originate from.

It's more interesting than anything else. With 23andme you get a some medical information, some traits and other information which is collected from people and some likely traits are suggested.

I was looking for more information on ancestors and movement etc and 23andme seem to have added a bit more. Will take a look at it.

It was interesting seeing suggested relatives, most in America and Canada.

Was it worth the £99 quid I paid, not sure.

There can only be one total.

You've obviously never done any importing and had to pay duty then, trust me, there's more than one total.

[northernladyuk]

There are totals and sub totals.

Also, bit of a bummer but have a higher risk of Alzheimers according to 23andme.

Because it will make white, self loathing liberals feel good about themselves when they discover they have a few licks of the tar brush.

What is the point of any information?
