Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Re: Why Do People Pay For An Ancestry DNA Test But Fail To Respond To Messages ?
« on: Friday 01 November 19 11:57 GMT (UK) »
I had my DNA test with Ancestry.com The results that came back were very general about my racial origins, suggesting that my ancestors originated in several areas of Britain and Europe.
It specifically stated that I was 39% Irish.
My results were recently updated and they are considerably different to the original ones. This latest analysis shows no Irish connection whatsoever. I am left wondering about the accuracy and usefulness of these tests. Will there be a future update with another, different conclusion?
I , like many, wanted to get an indication of my racial origins but I find it difficult to trust the information given as regards this. It has thrown up the names of near and distant relatives who have taken the test though. A couple have contacted me and I have responded to them. However, none of those where I initiated a contact have responded.
