My family is full of genealogists and we have family trees done back to the middle ages. We did also have DNA tests done. I do like the 'fun' aspect of DNA tests, but I think it needs to be kept as an adjunct to actual research. A DNA test can say you're half Irish, but really it could be most of your family lived in Wales. We learn so, so much more when we delve into who they were and the environments they lived in. I suppose it's about balance as always!
