Is there such a thing as genealogy tests?

answers1: The closest thing to this is to participate in the genealogy
project that National Geographic is currently working on. You purchase
a 100 dollar kit, follow the instructions, send in the samples and
what they will be able to tell you is what particular line your
ancestors and you yourself descend from. Look up the info in the
national geographic website. Other sites like genealogy.com can help
you some as well, but without actual dna testing of your supposed
relatives as well as yours, it would be kind of hard to pinpoint that
easily.
answers2: To tell your genealogy they usually will take cotton and
swab your mouth to collect saliva. It will not reveal who your
ancestors were, but more or less where your family originated from. It
can cost quite a bit because it is not a routine thing that people do
regularly versus going to the actual doctor for a check-up. It is not
detrimental to your health, because it does not harm you in any way,
even if you were to get it done with blood. It is definitely safe,
because they can either swab your mouth with cotton or take blood
samples.
answers3: This question was asked only a few minutes ago by someone
asking practically exactly the same statements and questions as you.
Seems suspiciously like the same person is using a different account.
However, the answer is the same........ <br>

Not exactly. DNA tests in genealogy will tell you generally the
geographic origins of your ancestors based on having DNA that is
common in certain populations of people in certain areas of the world.
But it will NOT tell you who your ancestors are. They do not have DNA
samples from everyone that ever lived, or hardly anyone that lived
more than a few decades ago. You are not going to find out by DNA
testing if King so and so from 1492 AD is your 18th great-grandfather.

EDIT: Very intersting. This question was asked a few minutes ago by
someone named Brianna, and this user Lou Lou answered it; yet turns
around and practically re-asked the same question. Seems like someone
is playing with multiple accounts which violates Yahoo rules. Both
have been reported so Yahoo can figure out what is what with this.
