Anyone else done this DNA test?
I'm 100% European, 95% British and Irish and 5% Ashkenazi Jewish specifically Ukraine or Poland. So someone in my family has cheated on someone else with a Ukranian or Polish Jew.

How accurate are these things? I don't care anywhere near enough to do one, but (admittedly from a knowing bugger all about them perspective) it's long struck me that it seems unlikely to be properly regulated and they could put any old shit on the report.
Also, given centuries of immigration, what does 95% British even mean?
I did mine ages ago on Ancestry:
It means he's a diverse melting pot Yev.Originally Posted by Yevrah
I don't know about the people ones, but didn't some comedian, maybe Joe Lycett, send off his own DNA to one of the dog ones and it came back saying he was 93% Pomeranian or something as they ask 'additional information' and essentially base the results off this information and not a test which I'm sure they don't do.
23andme is apparently the most accurate one out there.
It means I have a great or great great grandparent that was Jewish.
And 2 parents that are disappointed.
Probably not the best time to be telling people your Jewish.
Considering he's Jewish does that mean Spikey should be banned for saying shit about him?
Keep up mate. These days the Nazi's are pro-Jew.
Fuck them. Part of the reason I did this was to give me hope I was adopted or something.And 2 parents that are disappointed.
Without meaning to sound like a knob, but why do people do these? Is there a point beyond morbid curiosity (aka a waste of time)?
I'm a twit
It's just kind of interesting, right? Or, it would be if they were a bit more informative. I'd like to know the route my lineage took out of Africa. I suspect the majority will just be up through Europe (aside from my Grandads, that was SNATCHED from Africa by the white man). But I could be a secret Jew/Tibetan Monk, and that would be kind of cool (relation to Magic aside).
I'd be interested in that. But paying £75 for it to say, "errr 75% British m8"? Nah.

It shows you that via haplogroups.
That's more interesting. How much was it? Might float it as a Father's Day gift seeing as I don't actually want anything else.
Just to see if there's anything interesting. It's all fine and well knowing your family tree but that doesn't show you who's been norty.
£179. I also got the health reports too which are pretty cool.
Maybe not then. I'm not that good a dad.
You realise they'll immediately handover your dna when you inevitably commit a crime? That's how they got the Golden State Killer.
A man finds out he's 5% Jew and within an hour he's deemed an "inevitable" serial killer.
That was pretty cool to be fair.
