Aaron - I fully understand how the DNA tests work much to your chagrin I hope, and your assumption is emotionally based -not factually based. To say my ancestors came from England shows that thse tests are so far back as to be useless for genealogy research. There are as many disgusted folks out there as satisfied as shown by the number of emails I have seen posted on ALL the boards and those that were sent to me. I am glad you got your information - for me they were worthless!
