I am wary of sending my personal DNA off to some company.

Should I be worried or not? I told my fiance that it'd be fun to know more about my family history and she got me the ancestry + dna/health kit. I'd rather just type in my name and the names of my relatives to get information but this specific kit requires me to spit into something and send it to them...

Should I do it or not?

Hell no, don't give them any more info !!!.. a relative, thinking it was a fun present, gave me a 6 month subscription to ancestry.com for X-mas, but, #1-they'll tell you anything they want, in order to keep you paying, #2- you can do really good research from public records( on your own) by getting as many grand/great grand parent's names..i was able to trace my mother's side of family to 1600s and found her family"s Crest..but it seems my dad's side of family were basically gypsies and couldn't find much of anything..#3- your DNA is already on file for [[those]] who want it for other than good purposes...
