That would be very bizarre, because every brick wall that falls reveals two more ancestors that need to be researched and spurs a frantic flurry of midnight searching. 23andMe generally does not allow uploads, probably because they need people to test on their custom-designed medical chip. Some information can only be discovered via DNA testing today, distant Native heritage, for example, breaking through brick walls. (Itâs worth noting that I have over 5000 matches at all of the other vendors.). Why is Ancestry missing from this list of triangulation articles?
