I’ve decided to complete a DNA test.

I’m very keen to find out where in Europe my family originated from (Scotland & Germany I think).

Plus anything else. I don’t expect any ghosts in our family closet, but I am open to all information that may come from a test.

Ancestry is the company name I recognise, but there seems to be a lot of companies offering tests.

Do they all access a central global database? Anyone know?

I’d love to hear experiences and recommendations on which company to use, plus also learn about what information is provided? I’m keen to get the most detailed history available, so happy to pay more if need be.

Appreciate all comments, thoughts, experiences.
