My Mother did our family tree many years ago. Mother and Father back to the late 16 hundreds. No mention of any British and Irish in our line. French/French Canadian except for Two mentions of Native American. One Huron from Quebec and one Algonquin. Where does the British come in? I'm confused and would like a better explanation that I can understand. Thanks for listening.

I bought 3 DNA kits to give as Christmas presents. It was fun to start with, but when we starting receiving the results. I was extremely disappointed. We were general statements that you could look at our pictures and see, or the statements were so far off of our general appearance traits we could have been someone else. We had a genealogy completed on one side of the family and we are second generation immigrants from on the other side of the family. NONE of which were mentioned. Don't you think that some of this should have been found in our DNA. I do NOT believe the test was truly conducted.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Thank you for your feedback. Our Ancestry Composition report tells you what percent of your DNA comes from each of 31 populations worldwide. The analysis includes DNA you received from all of your ancestors, on both sides of your family. Some populations are inherently difficult to distinguish because of historical mixing, or we might not have had enough data to tell them apart. In these cases, your expected ancestry may actually be included in the broadly assigned ancestry for that region. The Broadly Assigned label is assigned when a piece of DNA can be found with some frequency in multiple regions.

Keep your expectations low if you’re looking for your father or sibling they’ll only show up if they purchase a kit and get tested ...
