Ancestry.com is running a DNA special for $79. It is supposed to run both male
and female lines. Has anyone used this and is it the best company to use? Not
sure how much help it might be. They claim that it doesn't follow lines as far
as others, but gives more relevant results. I have 3 trees
I would use FTDNA or 23andme. You get to see the actual chromosome map with
either of those.

Very worthwhile. I recommend Family Tree DNA. It's the same price as
Ancestry and they will probably have a sale on DNA Day - which I believe
is April 14.

I'm going to buck the trend because as far as I'm concerned, DNA
testing is a waste of time and money. To me, it's
I strongly disagree with this statement by Charani. DNA is not a "fad"
or "craze." It is science, and while traditional genealogical research
is needed to back up its findings, it can prove relationships where the
other sometimes cannot. Let me give an example: In November I found

Charani,
DNA certainly can be "infallible evidence". You've forgotten that it can be
exclusionary. In my case, I spent 5 years or more studying the Brittons of
Bitton to find a link to my brick wall in the adjacent parish of Kelston. One
glance at the first 16 STR markers that I received, and I
I've received complaints about this thread not being on the topic of Legacy
and add-on programs.
Please put a stop to this thread. It's gone beyond using Legacy with DNA
testing.

I haven't forgotten anything and DNA is fallible.
I certainly wouldn't junk 50 (fifty) years research just because
someone with a financial interest in
opposed to staying with 7.5. I did not see some of the new stuff really that special. The DNA answers about Legacy might make me more interested in upgrading.

I have had two Ancestry DNA kits done on direct family. I'm still sketchy
on the results, and not utilizing them 100% at all. It doesn't come with a
whole plethora of laymen instructional terms. I don't know half of what the
site refers to. It takes research and time that I don't quite have right

There is a Yahoo group that's specifically for discussing DNA testing.
Check out https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/DNA-NEWBIE/info
The LUG list is for discussing Legacy and really the only appropriate DNA
discussion would be how to enter your results in Legacy.

Apologies.
An opinion was sought and I gave mine which is seems
I think it is a shame someone felt it necessary to complain about this
topic. We all learn more from passionate debate, as long as the debaters
don't descend into name-calling and generally being rude. I believe a good
argument can be made about the relevance of this topic to the use of our
Legacy
The Legacy rules are clear that this list is for discussion of Legacy
and the Add-On topics.
The list can be very busy at times and the person who complained had
not interest in the topic and was getting frustrated with having to
delete all the emails the thread generated.
