Wonder if they share results with others also?

I haven't but have been wanting to.

If you have been in the military in the last 20 years they already have your DNA.

Our family back in the early 1900's migrated over from Dahlonega, GA to Birmingham, AL. Digging for gold didn't work out too well I was told, and moved to Birmingham, AL. They came for Mining and US Steel. Cherokee Indian in me and my kids. My Dad who is now deceased looked like an Italian....very dark skin and jet black hair. One of my great grandmothers who I knew was adopted. Seems like when women got pregnant out of wedlock...it was viewed really bad, I was told.

I'm not adopted but can understand why you don't want contact. I think it is good however, that you know who birthed you just in case you need that info for some reason later in life.

actually, it's longer than 20 years that blood has been collected in the military.

anyways, my family was contacted by a group administrator of this big DNA testing project. our family was very well documented by several genealogists - books had been written, town named after us when they crossed over, some type of archaeological study on the wood of a house in north carolina that proved it was "our house" and not that of another family, blah, blah, blah.

folks started submitting their swabs and the results started rolling in and it was discovered that there were 6 distinct lines of our name. we knew who we were descended from but it was sure nice to "know" for sure.

before pops died, i sent in his swab and a check to cover the most advanced test they could do at that time. my grandmother, pop's mom, was illegitimate and my great-grandmother never told anyone who the father of her daughter was - just that it was an itinerant fiddle player she met at a church revival one day/evening/night/whatever shocked . this was back in 1891, well before my time and my aunt's and uncle's time. story goes is that my great-grandmother never told anyone his name (heck, maybe she didn't know) and thus, my grandmother never knew her father frown . i was hoping to find some relatives from that fiddle player but so far, it's been a no go. he did pass on his musical genes to several members of the family, pop's included, but it seems to have skipped me as i can't carry a tune in a bucket crazy.

my mom was athabascan eskimo so there's not a lot of written lineage to trace there. our part of that family is documented as best as possible with ANSCA and the Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Agreed. I have wondered due to medical reasons. I don't really know what's in my family so I talked to my GP and he told me I'm not the first and there are plenty of test we can do every year to catch most anything so I don't worry too much about it.

As far as ancestry, I know very little other than what she sent me in repetitive facebook messages to get me to respond. My great great grandparents came over on the boat. One side from Catania (Sicily) and the other from Stazzo (Sicily). Their kids married people from Sicily and then their kids married married Sicilians. So, I know I'm at least full blown minus whatever my birth father was. I mean, I really like spaghetti. I should probably fill out a mafia application rofl

Hah! That's exactly what I was thinking reading your story. At least you also know that if employment is needed, you are qualified for another line of work. I've been rewatching The Sopranos and thinking that I could be a good Mafia Don, except for the occasional whacking part. Sadly though, I don't meet the qualifications.

I've met a few people that needed whacking but yeah that's where I would fail in the interview. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? Probably turning states witness! And you can't beat Sopranos with a stick. Awesome show. Hard to imagine there are really people living that life. Crazier to think of the power they once had.
