No surprises!I know a lot of people have unusual and difficult-to-determine ancestry or even progeny, but let me reassure you that the accuracy seems flawless to me. I had literally no surprises in my results, which may seem a bit boring at first blush. But it's exciting to confirm all of the research that I did on Ancestry and Family search for the last 2 years.I have a regular and recurring Ancestry account that I paid less-than-full price for (thanks to coupons) and this kit worked extremely well with it. Everybody should know that they run sales for the kits all the time (pick a holiday that entails family members, and you'll find a discount here). So I got mine near Black you-know-what day and it was probably the best sale you'll see.My tree of over 1,000 people is woefully incomplete in my cousin lines. I had only worked on direct ancestors. Well, if you are like me, now you can do two things: you can (1) add in your cousins with DNA matches, most of which will be alive, and (2) confirm or fix your direct ancestors. I was happy when I was able to do #2 especially for my father's line. It turned out that my father's father's father was quite the lady's man! He sort of loved them and leaved them, so to speak. Well, I have several cousins because of all this. While not entirely unexpected, it had been assumed that he died. Nah, he was just starting a new family elsewhere.It also helped me figure out who his father was. So, I guess the secret is out, and I can confirm the rest of my (admittedly boring) tree.So I got many, many DNA links, and some of them shared quite a bit (1 to 3%) of my DNA.And I pretty much can put a damper on the old wives' tales about being descended from Indians. Either they made that up, or I got no DNA from them.I recommend1. you work on your tree in Ancestry (you will need a subscription)2. you watch a video about using the DNA matches and ThruLines3. you learn about cM4. you compare your tree to your 1st, 2nd, 3rd cousins trees5. you eventually try the "dot" method to identify hidden/unknown lines in your tree6. you make your tree public to help othersI liked the traits add-on potential, but I haven't used them much. I actually just clicked the link while typing this, because I sort of forgot about it. Anyway, they are interesting, and I already found two... three which don't describe me well.Well, let me step back. I actually think Ancestry DNA's traits are terrible. I hate them. You know why? They somehow refuse to explain them. They go to all of this high-tech trouble to identify the genes for iris coloration and nose shape, but they can't be bothered with photos of actual humans (not drawings) of a Grecian nose or a pigmented ring. Even an attached ear lobe could help some people.I also don't like their "male hair loss" trait when it has been called "male pattern hair loss" for decades. And get this: their photo for male hair loss shows a bald man who appears to have his head shaved and is relatively young instead of the commonly-seen man with bald spots at that age.Possibly the stupidest trait is cleft chin. Rather than showing us one, they draw white dots where one would be ... on a stock photo of someone without one! Come on, man. Really? I also looked up cleft chin on the Interwebs and there is a funny study of US Senator photos that concludes it is "hard to draw a clear boundary between cleft and smooth chins." Traits may be fun for kids in 5th grade science, but this is just embarrassing.So while I can't really complain if I have 3+ traits or so that don't describe me, their questionnaires and results need a lot of fixes.And just so you know, the traits were not something that sold me on this test: they seem (both to me and the 2nd-stringers who must be creating the questions and results websites) to be an afterthought. DNA testing is by-and-large is to figure out how you relate to others. You sort of already know who you are. So 5 stars with a caveat: ignore the man behind the curtain that tells you that you don't like dancing but you like to run marathons!Also: my results came fast! And I submitted them during the December rush period. I liked that. They completely over-delivered on speed here.
