Wow!
I thought I was on this thread, but I can't find any posts from me. It may have been when I first came here, and just about lost everything I posted.
I did have my DNA spit test done by Ancestry.com. I sort of knew what my results would be because I have an original family tree that was handwritten by my grandmother on my mom's side. Interesting.
My dad's side is far more difficult, although it should be easier. I have gone back to my great grandfather through Ancestry.com.
I paid for all European, American and Newspapers for about two years, but I got lazy. I am still some sort of a member there, but they can so easily block things from you when you are in the mood to play with your ancestry.
Ancestry.com wants you to put everything you have on Facebook. I have never been a Facebook member, and probably will never be a member on that site because I just don't like that place.
I think at some point in time, I will have Ancestry.com just do the whole thing for me. It is such tedious work, but well worth it if you find something new.
I have read this whole thread, and, thank you, @Bigun for starting this thread. I might just go to one of the other places.
Oh, @Freya right now Ancestry is doing the spit DNA test for $69. It is pretty good. They tell you where your heritage is with only about 2% missing.
I am 100% Northern European. No famous anyone pops up. LOL!
