I did it for myself and my son, not my daughter (because I thought my son’s would cover my daughter). Later, I wished I had sent in my daughter’s as well, but when I later asked, she didn’t want me to. I may ask again soon, using the other company. I did this so long ago that I didn’t know the other company existed (and it may not have yet, for the public).
I wanted to do this for my children because their father died when he was so young. For me, anything I can do, to bring him to them in some way, will be done if at all possible. Besides, we already knew that his ancestry was extremely unlike mine, so it was interesting to compare and bring it all together.
The result was not as accurate as I’d hoped, but if we did it again, I think it would be more accurate now. My great-grandfather (or maybe his father) was African. I already knew that from lite but reliable research, my aunt, and Mother’s reaction when I mentioned it to her, but all that was listed for African was a hardly noticeable. SOME people have just looked at me and known if I was part African, mentioning it to me.
Also, we have Choctaw and Chickasaw blood, and that was not mentioned at all. My uncle was officially accepted into one of their tribes decades ago.
