I did find it useful.
I knew the majority of my racial background was African based but I was really surprised (kinda sort of) to see all of the other racial/ethnicity's included.

What Ancestry did was to break down by percentages the areas you're from. I'll post my pics when they load.

They give a ton of info about the areas/regions about the people, culture and so forth. I saved my info as a pdf and it's 82 pages long. Yeah.

Now that I'm in the dna database, they also show people (who have also submitted their samples) who I may be related to. 2nd, 3rd, 4th cousins. It's A LOT of people. I really need to hire a pro to help me with all of this.

On my family tree, I managed to go back to the 1790 wall but now I'm at the point of trying to figure out slave owners plus I'm missing info on my dads side. It's a lot but it's been worth it every time I find new information.
