3. For what it's worth, each one of the companies that tests DNA

has a different data base.

I did mine with 23 and me and got precisely the results I expected, since all four of my grandparents immigrated at the turn of the 19/20th centuries from Ireland. The only small surprise was a fraction of one percent that came up as Sardinian, and according to 23 and me would have come into my ancestral line about 400 years ago.

A friend of mine did hers through National Geographic, which has a better world-wide data base, and she got pretty much what she expected, including verification of some Turkish ancestry. She's a mix of lots of different things, so her results were quite fascinating I thought.

It's up to you about getting another DNA test with another company, but it might prove interesting.
