    Excellent site. I'm only interested in ancestral info and will order 3-4 separate tests.

    One mtDNA, one for male Y-DNA, paternal line, and one comprehensive genome. I don't understand the difference between 37 and 67 marker matches, FMS matches, haplogroups, etc. but I'm sure the genomics research center will elaborate.

    We did this, always told that my father's mother was Sac n Fox tribe, turns out.....not so much, we are completely Viking lands.

    I don't have the heart to tell my dad.

    Same with my wife. Her dad swore up and down he’s 1/8 Cherokee. Nope. Her aunt by marriage built a million dollar teaching/consulting of low income kids empire based on the assumption that her husband (wife’s dads brother) was part Native American.

    I was hoping for some shading in my past but nope, 99% Northern Europe. Boring.
