I payed for the Genographic test but I also had another one at the Univ. for free. Cool huh?  Did the uni one do more markers? We did my mother's father through Genographic and he came back R1b and looking at the specific markers it suggests a Germanic subset of that. But I wanted to get more tests as it only gives a small number of markers to distinguish. For my Dad's we took a 43 marker test and it came back I1c and closest matches were with what is called "Nordic I1c", so a continental Northern European origin. No super-close matches yet though. It ruined my theory that my father is actually an alien though -- I thought they might respond and ask me to send HUMAN DNA |

update: Going to get my parents to try the autosomal DNA test now as I had some interesting, but inconclusive, results. I had a number of failed markers but did show what they classify as Native American, in addition to European. Test did not pick up any African. I have not yet done the Euro test that attempts to break down among different subgroups, as I was waiting to see what the first Dnaprint said ... so I am using that money to sponsor my parents. Looking forward to seeing the results.

I'd love to do this test but I feel the results will be predictable.

are there tests that can directly tell you what ancestry you have, for example could it tell me if i'm part italian?

Why not make a thread with the results of these tests?

I mostly want to do an autosomal DNA test as i've never actually known as a mixed race person what what my actual mix is -only wild guesses.
I'm interested to see how my sister and I differ in the tests:
she has curly light blonde hair,hazel eyes,paleish skin but african features.
I have straighter black hair and eyebrows,slightly darker skin and syrian/arab and asianish features.
Can the test determine arab ancestry? as there is a story that my g.g.g grandmother was from 'zanzibar ' and ran off with some irish guy - john o'reilly.
Is Ancestrybydna the only company that does these tests?
