Randy Seaver of Genea-Musings is known for his Saturday Night Genealogy Fun challenges. His blog post, DNA Tests and Analysis Summary wasn’t a Saturday Night Genealogy Fun challenge, but I decided that I needed to view it as a challenge to review my DNA results.

Even though I have transferred my Ancestry DNA results to as many places as possible, I prefer working with my Ancestry results.
- I have more results on Ancestry.
- More of my 2nd and 3rd cousins have tested on Ancestry
- Ancestry ThruLines is proving to be very helpful.
