We found that my very German husband is actually very Scandinavian. </p> <p>My brother said something that had me cracking up- he told me that my mom ate a hamburger right before doing the cheek swab, and our DNA came back as part bovine. Of course I knew this was a joke- my mom never eats hamburgers ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-done-personal-dna-testing#post-309905 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 14:00:53 +0000 lawbee11 309905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: Have you decided which company you are going to use (if any)? My dad is adopted and knows nothing about his biological parents, so I have been looking into this also. Let me know what you find! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-done-personal-dna-testing#post-309873 Tue, 25 Sep 2012 13:47:32 +0000 sunny 309873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jacks: i don't know if this company is any good, but i saw this deal and thought of this thread:</p> <p><a href="http://www.livingsocial.com/cities/1-washington-d-c/deals/455928-ancestrybydna-test?id=455928-ancestrybydna-test" rel="nofollow">http://www.livingsocial.com/cities/1-washington-d-c/deals/455928-ancestrybydna-test?id=455928-ancestrybydna-test</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-done-personal-dna-testing#post-306747 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 09:36:13 +0000 LemonLong 306747@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I gave a familyTreeDNA kit to my Dad since he doesn't know a lot about his bio dad's family. We didn't find out anything useful though. We are a ton of different nationalities though, so maybe that's why we didn't get good results. It shows you where people who have similar DNA are located right now, but that's kind of meaningless if people moved around. Like we had some Shared DNA in Ireland, but I don't think we are Irish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-done-personal-dna-testing#post-306688 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 07:47:36 +0000 Mrs. Train 306688@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have done the national geographic one just for fun. It was kind of interesting because they tell you which genes they track and where it is most commonly found </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/has-anyone-done-personal-dna-testing#post-306674 Sun, 23 Sep 2012 07:30:32 +0000 heffalump 306674@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't and I don't know much about this.... but my DH has a genealogy service.

Knowing my DNA make up might really help push me in a logical direction to find a missing link relative.</p> <p>Have you done testing like 23 and me or the Nat Geo DNA testing to discover your genetic background? If so can you tell me which one you used and if you recommend it or if you have knowledge of one that's particularly good, will you share it? </p>
