Ancestry DNA test

Have you ever done one of these tests? What did you think to the accuracy? 

No.  It is a vanity thing pure and simple.  strutter's will show he's got Norman stock. Dux's line traces back to that king who had a hot poker inserted up his sheriff's badge (edward ii?). Mine will show Irish, cvnt and Franco Belgian.  Chippy and Jayers will have a strong floresiensis theme.  Cookie will be able to trace himself back to the concestor that spawned human and ferrets.

I tried ancestry.com being excited as I have recently found out I have some pretty crazy relationships on my dads side?!  

 

It was pretty crap as far as I could tell.one generation up (my grandparents) and the details were completely wrong...for starters it had them all down as alive - so unless it is a cleverly disguised door to the afterlife their info is clearly way out of date 

Yes. I am one of the first lot of people who came up out of Africa, survived the Ice Age in Europe and then got swamped by the larger coarser humans of the second wave. I think it is accurate because my wrists and ankles are more delicate and finely modelled than most of yours, you lumbering oafs. (No offence.)
