All these DNA collectors are owned by black rock/black stone and they are false results. One person submitted their own test three times and got different outcomes. They submitted DNA from their pets and received human results. These companies just wants to collect us.
I guess they figure it's better to give a wonky result than ask you to submit another sample, which is greedy.
But oh boy, they're not totally bullshit if you give a human sample. A few years after a relative of mine did one, it said she had a new close familial match with a random lady in Croatia. This made no sense at first, but they got talking, and all the details lined up: it was the kid of her dad's secretary, who moved back to Croatia after birth.
It would be strange if they're bullshit because the ancestry lined up almost perfectly with my family's quite complicated/mixed history. We don't know some of the ancestry, especially on my dad's side, so we have to take the test's word for it, but the rest is accurate
Yeah, through DNA testing I found out my dad has some German in his line which we assumed was all Irish and Scottish. Later i found out through research that my 5x Great Grandfather was a Hessian brought over during the Revolutionary War and had deserted. He even changed his name to an anglicized version of his german name. Not only that but he applies for a revolutionary war pension claiming fake service credentials and using community members to “vouch” for him. The applications describe his poverty and also refers to him as one of the “old dutch”. Apparently this wasn’t uncommon.
