The Germans were obsessed with knowing your ancestry and genetics to keep the race "pure". All the DNA stuff could be very dangerous in the wrong hands.

They used to plant a weapon as evidence at a crime scene to frame the innocent. Now the unscrupulous need only a sample of your DNA. Scary.

Have a good bud who is the cultural resource officer for the Oklahoma Seminole Nation. He said several years ago the feds did some financial settlements with the Oklahoma Seminoles. $$$$$. He went on to say you should have see who came out of the woodworks claiming membership. And they weren’t caucasian.

Now He went on to say that there were a few legit claims. But on the whole most were there for da money they thought they would get.

Exactly the same for the Indian Casinos in Louisiana.

Never knew that we had so many native Americans in Louisiana.

So it sounds like their tests are not as accurate as they want us to think. It's only as accurate as the data they have to work with like any other piece of science.


DNA doesn't get passed on in direct proportion to your ancestry, in other words if one of your 8 great grandparents was 100% Sioux, that doesn't mean that 1/8 of your DNA would be Sioux. I have distant ancestors from the Delaware tribe but no DNA from that line, while one of my sisters does have DNA from them. Actual inherited DNA is pretty random and siblings will often have quite a different mix of DNA.

14 states mandate DNA collection for all felony arrests.

9 for misdemeanors.

100% of illegal aliens are swabbed.

The right tends to be as excited about it as the left.

My DNA was taken about 20 years ago by the po-po.

I've no doubt it'll reside in the database long after I'm gone.

Trust me when I say that nothing about genetic testing is private. You put your genome in the public arena when you are tested and it stays there for ever.


can you buy samples of other people's DNA?

Some of y'all boys are a little paranoid. I joined 23andme.com five years ago and never gave it a second thought.

I wonder how long y'all give me, until the FBI and the CIA kick down my door.

An extensive DNA database would be a treasure trove of info to insurance companies, employers and marketers. Actually, the possibilities are endless. Compared to these people, government folks are rank amateurs.

Ancestery.com solved a long time family legend for us. It was believed that we had either some Cherokee or Freedman Cherokee in the family. Neither showed up.
