That's just it, we have no choice but to put our future, into the hands of the unknown, some, choose to put their past there also.

Hi

I completely agree summer.

DNA is very accurate when done properly, it often isn't and even the best labs can make mistakes or the sample can be contaminated.

I blame the TV Programmes, CSI and the like, it is not instantaneous and it is not 100% accurate.

Home test kits are rubbish, you need to be fully masked up to get an uncontaminated sample and a very sophisticated lab to get a proper result.

That is why DNA teats used by Enforcement Agencies take ages to do and are very expensive.

Even then, they can be wrong.

The present situation regarding the Grenfell Fire really annoys me.

Labour Politicians, in particular David Lammy, are demanding instant answers and blaming those who are desperately trying to sort the mess out.

This is so, so, wrong.

People huddle together in fires, sorting out all the bits is a horrendous job.

Getting it right is the important thing.

The politicians and others claiming cover ups about the number of deaths?

I would personally put them in a suit and send them in to do the job.

That would shut them up.

Re: Ancestry dna

I get enough headaches from the family I know I have I wouldn't want any more of them coming out of the woodwork!

I know a lot of family history from my daughter and niece doing family tree reserch so thats enough for me plus I feel happy in myself I am what I am and stuff anyone who doesnt like it.
I can imagine if you dont know your family or are somehow unhappy with yourself that you might feel the need to know.

But as has been mentioned not all the reunions are like surprise surprise.
