Brainstorming about history, politics, literature, religion, and other topics from a 'gypsy' scholar on a wagon hitched to a star.
My True Ancestry sent me an email with emphasis upon the following: "Upload Your Raw DNA Data."
I hadn't been planning on uploading any DNA data at all, but I'll make a note that it should be uncooked if I ever do decide to use their services.

I am a retired professor. I last taught at Ewha Womans University, mostly composition, research writing, and cultural issues, but also the occasional graduate seminar on Gnosticism and Johannine theology and the occasional undergraduate course on European history. My doctorate is in history (U.C. Berkeley), with emphasis on religion and science. My thesis is on John's gospel and Gnosticism. I'm also an award-winning writer, and I recommend my novella, The Bottomless Bottle of Beer, to anyone interested. I'm originally from the Arkansas Ozarks, but my academic career -- funded through doctoral and postdoctoral fellowships (e.g., Fulbright, Naumann, Lady Davis) -- has taken me through Texas, California, Switzerland, Germany, Australia, and Israel and has landed me in Seoul, South Korea. I've also traveled to Mexico, visited much of Europe, including Moscow, and touched down briefly in a few East Asian countries. Hence: "Gypsy Scholar."

Just as well. Recent articles have stated these DNA tests are not as accurate as they claim to be. They probably could not pin-point the central Ozarks back woods we came from anyway. =)
I imagine the process is like pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps, anyway. Shan - let's say - is Irish. He happens to be the only Irishman because he's the first and only person claiming to be Irish. But halfway around the world is an individual genetically similar. Purely accidental, but very similar, and he calls himself Hans. Generations pass, genetic variations arise, and much mixing among various ethnic groups occurs, but the Shan People and the Hans People never meet. However, they always show up in these searches as closely related. That would be one limitation. If I had more time, I could give a better example.
