Very cool. I've been thinking about getting this done too.

We have genealogical records going back hundreds of years, it would fun to see how it plays out.

Don't just do the genealogical one from other services. 23&me recently re-introduced (FDA had blocked it for about two years) the testing that will also tell you your genetic traits and susceptibility for various diseases. That was FAR more interesting than the genealogical alone (which I think Ancestry does). 23 & Me also put me in contact with a cousin I didn't really know existed (daughter of a cousin whom I had met once or twice).

And apparently I am 3% neanderthal. Joo neanderthal that is, if you listen to the tards n this sub.

Cool shit. I paid $100 or so several years ago on special. Absolutely worth it.

Our genealogical records are different.

They're maintained by hand and you have to travel to meet the record keeper, who will also interview you, update your data, and sign the book.

You can also leave a handwritten message for future generations to read.

The Spencer Wells book covers the Neanderthal aspect, I think.
