My wife told me she thought about getting me a kit for Christmas but didn't. It sort of piqued my interest. I wonder how much is legit vs BS.
Have any of you dbs used one of these DNA ancestry testing services?

Biggest Bang for your DNA buck...

Are you wondering what percent horses-*** you are? Most would tell you that number is pretty high.
I don't even know how you would know which is more legit unless you know something about DNA testing. I got my wife the kit from Ancestry.com for her birthday last year at her request. She knows a lot about her family history (on her dad's side) thanks to a relative who spent years doing research for a book, and her DNA report tracks with what he found. My mother had hers done through a family association, for about three times the cost of Ancestry's offering. Here's the major difference I could see: Ancestry.com's report provides percentages based on regions for the most part, while the report my mom got was more detailed country-specific.
As with most things like this, your mileage may vary.
