![]() ![]() Not that they are lying but they might really not know and are just repeating what they are told. I wish more people would understand science before they claim that it's a "rip off"- no, you just do not understand genetic genealogy and accept your families stories as facts. Nope! Apparently I am also a bit Italian- no one mentioned that. I was told that my grandmother on that side of the family was "half Indian"- which now I know is not true because her sister - my great aunt - also took the test and is only 1% Native.so it's there-just a very long time ago. I was told I was part Native American- a very common thing white people claim. And guess what? My family only had about half of my ancestral make up correct. I have done several of these tests (Ancestry, 23 and Me etc.) and they all almost agree with each other- on my genetic makeup give or take a few percentages. Genetic genealogy is a science and the "white papers" that explain the science is on their website. I am sorry but it also doesn't matter what you have been told your whole life because most of what you know is just family stories/myths that are passed down. If you submitted YOUR saliva test- that break down of your DNA is based off of that- not your last name. Using your or your stepdad's last name absolutely does not matter. I still go to movies once or twice a month, just not as many, and always on a weekday early afternoon showing (local Cinemark is $4.54 for the early afternoon show- and no crowds! ) I know how much it is to add it for 6 months, so when I get paid- I put my entertainment money in its own savings account every 2 weeks, not checking, every 2 weeks part of it assigned to Ancestry so when I renew - the money is there, the rest is labeled fun money for outings. WORLD EXPLORER: The 3-month membership is redeemable during the AncestryDNA activation process only by the person activating the AncestryDNA test. To start a free trial, see Ancestry® Free Trial. With a budget that that is mindful for outcome, even with the world membership- I am spending less then I was 3 years ago. The All Access membership is one of three membership options the other two are U.S. It was easy for me to see where the cuts could be made so I can do something I love to do, rather than just want to do. I am anal- and stick to a budget, and track even little minute expenses that add up). For me, I give up some extra fun things for it (like going to movies on a friday and sat nights with dinner- that's expensive and can easily add up over the course of 6 months or a year. ![]() Gas vs about 150 year for me a lot cheaper, and get more research done. ![]() The closest family center for me is a 50 mile round trip drive. Fold 3 is awesome also- more history there for some lines that cant fine much on newspapers. I could fill 3-4 books now with articles about them. Some great finds, some heart wrenching regarding my grandparents, aside from the gg's grandparents. I have found so many articles regarding one line, (ggg grandfather was sheriff, involved heavily in politics, business owner, etc) So many articles confirmed stories I heard growing up, or filled in many blank spaces. I get it for 6 months at a time, then let it expire for about 6 months, then get it on special. ![]()
