The span of years that are transmitted to testees is worthless for genealogy research. I can go back four generations from me and to say my ancestors are from England tells me you have gone back so far as to make any research worthless. Then to say you cannot tell me specifically which country of origin my ancestors came from - is ridiculous and makes any research worthless. Then to say, I probably shouldn't contact the ONE person that has my same haplo group makes these tests worthless!

DNA research is not a fraud, no matter what 'your opinion' is. I have been connected with at least two lines (cousins) I never knew about. Especially for those at a significant roadblock, it can be helpful. And I enjoy the science behind it. Just because you don't fully understand how something works doesn't mean you should poo-poo it so harshly. Aaron PS If DNA testing is such a fraud, why is paternity testing so prevalent?
