I've heard mostly disappointing stories about this. It's expensive and you tend to get generic results that trace you back to a few centuries, and most of the times you could already have guessed where that is, more or less.. so what do you learn..? Not an awful lot and not much about your family..

I think the cultural aspect is more interesting. Knowing who your family were centuries ago.. what jobs they had, what they did in life, what their beliefs were. Sadly, many family names also started only a few hundred years ago..
