    As curious as I was about my own ancestry, this is exactly why I never did it myself. Not that it matters, though. If any of your close relatives do it they’ll have a near match for you as well.

      Same! My gf begged me to do it. She made me feel like an asshole for not doing it. Called me crazy to think anything would happen. Well here we are!

      I did it out of curiosity as well, not on 23andme though. Since I wanted to finish my grandfather’s history tree after his passing. He told me a lot about missing family ties because of two world wars Etc… the DNA data helped a lot.
