My wife had her DNA tested through Ancestry.com.
It seems that her mother was a bit of a gadabout who had multiple lovers and more than one husband. My wife had been told that her father was the same father her sister had. It turns out that by the DNA her sister is in reality her half sister.
My wife knows who her father was, she had heard of him and his connection to her mother. She knows where he is buried and when I heard that I said "We must go there".
My wife thinks I should have my DNA tested because we really don't know much about my ancestors past my great grandparents, and I have one of those generic names that could have come from almost anywhere in Europe or the British Isles, like Smith, which can even be an Anglicized version of Schmidt. I told her I have better uses for the 100 bucks. Still, I am curious.
Have any of you done this?
