Deep Ancestry: Inside The Genographic Project

Gidget R asked:


They seem to be really specific. Like they only test one line, (or they can test two lines for men) instead of all your DNA. And none of the sites explain it in a clear way. Why can't they test all of a person's DNA instead of just one or two lines? I want to know what ethnicity my Dad's Mother is, yet it seems they can't test the DNA of that relationship, or if they can by my Dad getting the test, they might test the wrong line of that ancestry and still not find out what I want to know. If you can answer the question without using words like "markers" and "haplogroup" I would appreciate it. The testing sites use all kinds of confusing jargon instead of just telling you what they do.
GGrotke- I am looking at the ancestry testing sites, not the paternity test places. They only test one line whether it is the paternal DNA or maternal DNA, they say it is only a small percentage and can locate that line way back for you.

Penny K asked:


I'm 37 and this is the 2nd time in my life that they have disowned me. The first time was when I ran away 22 years ago when my mother was a mean drunk, and the second time was when I had a DNA test done to find out my ancestry, and there was a story in the paper about it. I have asked them before if they knew anything and they would say no except...and then they would tell me a bunch of horrible things about my birth mother that over the years they couldn't keep straight and would contradict themselves. But how much is enough, because I just told them all off because they are giving me the silent treatment again and I'm so done. But we tend to be in our own little bubble sometimes, so I was wondering if anyone else had a view on this?
no you are right I don't need any sympathy. I just wanted to know if I was the one that was crazy.
