Genetics and heritage are a tad too complicated for any test we develop to reveal all those juicy details we're digging for, so any disappointing results from those DNA testing companies should be regarded with due skepticism. And I would rather not trust those companies with such personal information as my genetic code. If I want a DNA test, I'll try to perform my own, but I trust the oral history of my family. More or less. I have good evidence that I'm of mostly Siberian, Turkic, Nordic, and Celtic descent, with a smattering of Osage. My husband and I both have quite a few weird atavisms.
