    I knew the whole idea of letting a company get your genetic fingerprint was a bad idea from the start. Being curious about my ancestry wasn’t worth it.

      That’s great but all it takes is some of your blood relatives to submit their genetic data and they can calculate your genetics to a degree that is accurate enough.

        Luckily for us, all family members either saw what OP saw ahead of time, or the few that were curious listened to others and didn’t go through with it. Exactly because of the reason that you stated.

      Not just yours, but your family 's DNA. You are not much different from your siblings and parents. I was pissed when my brother told me he did one of those stupid DNA tests.

      Yeah, I feel like I dodged a bullet. As I knew some family members who thought about it but declined to do it because of the for-profit angle in case the company flopped.
