Genealogy is one of the fastest growing hobbies in America. Despite the breakdown of many social and racial barriers, people are more interested than ever in their ethnic heritage.
But as Lauren Garber explains, not all types of genealogical research are created equal...

@PrincessAprilAnn Many filipinos claim to have Spanish ancestry but too many are disappointed to find out that isn't true. My family like many other Filipino families claimed spanish ancestry but with the exact same verbage as everyone else, "Oh, grandma said that her grandparents were from Spain." Well, I traced up to my paternal grandmother's 3rd great-grandparents & none were foreigners except one whose name suggested Chinese origin, but that is a tiny fraction of Chinese for my grandmother

I always suspected that DNA testing was unreliable, now I'm convinced that it is [unreliable]. If you think of your family tree as being shped like an inverted funnel or triangle with you at the bottom point, tracing back the outermost ancestors leaves out the majority of your heritage. Besides which, I read that you can only go back so many generations and the genetic makeup of the people you may be descended from is so different as to render them practically "non-relatives." Beware this fad.

No wonder we still have a shit President!! Obama is related to two devils: Bush and Cheney (Beavis and Butthead)! I think we need some NEW BLOOD in our U.S. leadership! America was not founded to be a monarchy! Hey, if I'm distantly related to Ron Paul I'd be honored! If I'm related to Borat, well THAT'S NIIICE!
