Title: What is your oppinion about this ancestry test?
Post by: Ulli on September 22, 2008, 05:01:19 AM

Look what I found: http://www.igenea.com/index.php?langchange=en

There you can test your DNA for your ancestry. But I don't know if this is serious and it costs 250 Euro = 364 Dollar for a high quality test.

 :o

I am a skinflint, but I am also curious, because I know my ancestry only till the first half of the 19th century.

What do you think?

It is a sham.

They will just tell you which part of Africa you came from.

Yes I thought too, that this is perhaps a sham.

In any way this is really a great business concept. The pretend to answer one question the vast majority of people are strongly interested in.

If they will keep their promises, i really don't know ...

I think you can go to a university and they can do it for a lower price
