    I would like to do this if it were affordable.

    I honestly am not comfortable doing this. You do not know that your info is not sold or where it is stored or saved or how it can be used against you in the future. I don't care what others do.  Just my opinion.  I know where my family came from.  I have traced ancestory back in to the 1700's from all 4 grandparents. I know where they came from.  So I am good. :D

    I haven't done these yet but I am definitely curious. I am not sure which one is better or if they are affordable.
