Latest information about DNA databases

Update: April 25, 2022

I love reading comments in groups that discuss people's experience with their DNA results. I

Sharing here some comments:

 

A. I have done FTDNA and it isby far the worst at identifying my Armenian DNA (I'm 1/4). Ancestry was better, but 23&me knocked it out of the park. If another test is in your budget, I'd retest with 23&me.

In this digital age, we have the option to find out about our DNA. Many are so thrilled to find out. However, many are worried of it's negative side, with so much information already about you on the world wide web, what would be the consequences of such personal data accessible by total strangers?

On Facebook DNA conversation thread had this posted:

So now it's being trades left and right.

I'll list here more information I find about those huge databases, as they keep changing hands.

Digital Notes

The internet has come a long way. Taking a look at it for the past decade.
Here is an important point to keep in mind, when you post ANYTHING online. Even though you might delete it, however it gets archived!

Here is a quote from CNET:
"... The internet is forever

If you sear one rule into your brain going into 2020, make it this: Everything you post online can come back to haunt you, even years later. You might think your comment was ironic, hilarious or edgy. You may have intended it as satire or social commentary. It may have just been a moment of misjudgment you expect to blow over.

But your online record is part of your permanent record, and you aren't guaranteed the benefit of the doubt, even if you think you deserve it."
