Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / genetics vs cultural identity
« on: Sunday 02 February 14 18:27 GMT (UK)  »
i have been curious to see what your thoughts are on whether we can use results of DNA tests to link us to a certain ethnic group and establish a cultural identity. for example, in my case i have done a bit of research on my surname and decided to test with DNA tribes as they have a massive (and probably the best) south american database. my south american results came back and i had very good matches with colombia and argentina. from my personal point of view, if somebody was to approach me tomorrow and ask me where i am from, i would say i am persian, but if i was asked whether i am fully persian, i would not hesitate to claim my south american ancestry. i know some people would disagree with me on this, but its my own personal opinion and i would like to hear other peoples opinions on this subject.

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / is DNA tribes an accurate company?
« on: Thursday 05 September 13 21:07 BST (UK)  »
i had my dna tested with DNA tribes, they are my first ever dna test and im currently awaiting my results from ftdna. i was looking at the kerchner page which is a site that shows many genealogists results and they talk about what they found out from the test etc, it seemed like the test was convincing enough so i took it. i was intrigued and excited when i saw my south american results came back and i had matches with colombia ten times followed by argentina with 8 times, would these results be a good indication of ancestry/relatives from those countries?

Ancestral Family Tree DNA Testing / Dna tribes testing for ethnic background?
« on: Saturday 08 June 13 17:03 BST (UK)  »
Hi Im thinking of doing a dna test with dna tribes to confirm if I have any European ancestry and was wondering if anyone has had any experience with them and if the test really does confirm ancestry.if so is there a way that you can then find out other people with matching genetics that could be distant relatives?
