Has anyone ever taken a DNA test that gives info about your ancestry and if so, what company did they use and would they recommend them,

    I wouldn't take one myself. I'm not comfortable with private companies owning my DNA. That's just me though, I just thought I'd throw it out there.

    I'm certain I'm not the milkmans though. I look just as Oriental as my dad, almost identical, but darker because my nan is ethnically North African Jew on my mom's side. I have ginger hair (in places) because both of my darker skinned grandparents married Glaswegian, and Irish spouses. I'm one odd looking ***.

    That’s so cool that you’ve got bits of your parents and grandparents in you and that you really do represent the different countries in such a way. 

    I’ve heard other people say they don’t want some organisation holding their DNA but I don’t care about that. Maybe they’ll clone me and there’ll be another one like me :)
