DNA testing

Post by RickD »

I was thinking of getting a DNA test done. I'm curious about my heritage. But I've read that the tests are only accurate with one's heritage from 500-1000 years ago.

Anyone have any experience with this kind of DNA test? Any feedback you'd like to share?

From what I know about my heritage, from speaking with family, my ancestors were primarily Scottish, English, German, and Swedish. I'd like to see if I'd find out anything more.

But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.

For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.

I doubt I'm Slovak. I'm not smart enough to be Slobovian. :D
