Have you read One Drop? It's a book about a man who passed as white (was Louisiana Creole), and his kids didn't find out until they were adults and he was on his deathbed. At the end, there's a discussion of the tests and how they'll skew wildly even among siblings. A blond, blue-eyed man had a higher percentage of African ancestry than his phenotypically "Black" aunt. It's pretty interesting stuff.

Has anyone done both ancestry Dna and 23 and me?
