Don't know how you can be 'so proud' of something beyond your control.   Might as well be 'proud' of having a nose. 
But would like to see what everyone could make of the grandparents if the names were posted.

I'm proud of many of my ancestors, and I'm sure I'm not alone in that. My nose, I'm not at all proud of.

The OP said they were proud of their great diversity in their ancestry, not their ancestors.  :)

What's wrong with your nose Mike?  ;D

Chesya

I too had my first DNA test with "Roots for Real" many years ago and they have been the only ones that have given my brother any European clue as to where some of his dna matches are found he belongs to the (F) Haplogroup.  He has tested with Oxford, 23andMe and FamilyTreeDNA.   I am sure we all know that this science just has a toe in the water and hopefully much more to come in the future.   :D  Lookin2

So, Lookin2, how did the results for each of those companies compare? Were the results the same?

I was just thinking about this thread the other day and wondering where chesya has disappeared to. Looks like they are not interested in the help offered to trace their grandparents after all. That is disappointing.  :(

Not much really - it's just that I didn't get to pick it myself.

One  two distant match for 25 markers on FTDNA and none for 23andme.  FTDNA and 23andMe had many distant cousins.  Lookin2

Not much of use then?  :)
And what did "Roots for Real" give you in comparison?
