I'm not sure what a DNA test will tell you, other than give a general region that your ancestors came from.  My main worry about DNA tests is that if they are not taken in sterile conditions, the chances of cross-contamination is quite high.

Yeah - I'm not knocking it...... I'm interested to know what the test tells you, if you'd like to post it when you find out
