Position:Home>Genealogy> Has anyone done ancestry.com's DNA testing?Question:If you have did you find it worthwhile? Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: If you have did you find it worthwhile? Just to offer some pros/cons.. It does not verify specific names or places. I am working currently with a local person, who did testing via one company. It came back that she "matches" with a young lady in Maryland, thus proving there is a relationship.. but it does NOT show exactly how far back.. simply that it is matrilineal based. The young lady was abandoned as an infant, and parents never located. The lady here has a brick wall, concerning her mother's parentage, that we are struggling to break. I haven't had one done, but I would suggest that it is still important to have the paper trail to work with. In some cases, it CAN make or break that paper trail, when used as comparison to existing information. Which is going well by the way. Thanks in large part to your efforts. I found a descendant of Phebe Wallace's husbands 2nd wife who has all sorts of info on William Dickson. Yaay. Report It * You must be logged into Answers to add comments. Sign in or Register.
