My christmas wish list includes ancestral genetic testing. It's around $300. I really want to know my heritage. I could have American-Indian in me but we could never prove it due to my great grandmother lying during the census and saying she was Danish. I never met my grandmother but she looked full blooded Indian. My uncle does as well. My mom looks a little Indian. I don't know what the heck I look like. I heard that a relative was born in WA state but was taken as an Indian slave to somewhere in Vancouver BC. My maiden last name was Adler, which I have heard is a pretty big Jewish name. It would be so cool if I found some African heritage as well. My interest is continually sparked when I hear about people who look as white as can be or as dark as can be actually being a part of a race they never expected. That is just so great!!!

We also had records that my great great something or other was a pretty big general that fought my husband's great great something or other (Robert E Lee). These two people were huge rivals and my husband and I would cease to exist if they killed each other. I know that the DNA testing wouldn't reveal that information but perhaps the Mormons can help me out on that one? They are great with genealogy.

Has anyone had this done? I looked it up on the net and you pay the money and the company ships you a collection sample. My concern is "legitimacy." I would want to go with a pretty well known company because I don't want to get ripped off.
