Having read your blog my answer remains unchanged - I see no reason for me to take a DNA test! :-\

Whilst the science behind DNA is sound, the interpretation of results leaves an awful lot to be desired.

If you are researching your family tree, I am sure that at some point in the future it will benefit you, either to prove or disprove a connection, or maybe take you further back than you are today. It's not for everyone, I appreciate that, but as a `"Family Tree-er", I am keen to use every tool available to me, appreciate that you took the time to read it though!! Thankyou
