    Having your DNA tested has another hazard, like looking in the mirror and realising you don't look like your"father" but the milkman (USA substitute some other regular delivery driver).

    I remember some case came up in a criminal case involving DNA in the USA, where the victim found out her Father was also her Grandfather....
    A Reuters new reports provided the following statement tonight:

    "Investigators in California narrowed in on the Golden State Killer suspect by using the genetic profile of a relative on ancestry websites that solicit DNA samples from users, a Sacramento County prosecutor said on Thursday."

    Just a heads up.
