I'd talk with your family. You might discover that one of them has already shared their information, in which case your losses are minimal, or you might find out that one of them values their shared DNA not ending up in a database highly. Either way, I don't think it should only be your decision.
I'd also recommend you Google further. There are a multitude of companies in this space. 23&Me is the household name, but if you want more complex to interpret but more detailed data alternatives exist. What's right for you depends on your goals. Hereditary info? Medical?
- tehlike 7y agoThis sounds nice in theory, and also points out to the privacy aspect from family tree pov,but in practice, it will be a futile exercise I'm afraid. I'm kind of lucky in that I'm not originally from us and all my family is elsewhere and not interested in ancestry tests. That said, I think I forgot to opt out from dna tests for my daughter's birth, so I'm probably already out of luck.
- iudqnolq 7y agoIf I were you - and of course I'm not - I'd figure out for sure who has your daughter's DNA. If there's no privacy penalty I'd always value knowing myself better.
