Have found it most interesting! I am so proud of my North Walian lineage!

Not accurate enough to be of any use.I had it done and the results came back saying that a large part of my family originated from Ireland.There is no connection to Ireland in my family.It also said that it could have come from a small area in West Wales around the Cardigan area.This is correct but if I didn't know that I would think I was Irish not Welsh.Big difference; two different countries, same as Polish or German.Too vague to be of any use.

I, too, am disappointed.  I have definitive knowledge of my ancestors, yet ordered a DNA kit.  Very disappointed.  Did not pinpoint the area close enough. I know what regions I am from.  Also, connected me to trees saying 5-8 generations cousins match.  5 of these trees list same name of great grandfather but not my family nor area where they were from.  Also,  strange that I have great-great-great-great grandparents from southern Italy and they say I am only 3 percent Italian.  Something is amiss here in their system.

What an enormous disappointment! The information I received could easily have been obtained from my family tree, nothing useful at all, in fact I doubt wether they actually tested th DNA at all!! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!
