I have tested at 23andMe, Ancestry, FamilyTreeDNA (for mtDNA test; 23andMe autosomal also uploaded there), and my DNA is on GEDMatch. I also use DNA Painter. The purpose of all those tests was to find my great-grandmother, and I succeeded. Ancestry is a terrible website with fake features like Thrulines instead of real features like a chromosome browser; 23andMe uses your information to patent genetic treatments for illnesses and their family tree is whacky, but they do have a chromosome browser; FamilyTreeDNA is expensive, but it's the only way to get more detailed tests; GEDMatch is still fairly useless, but fills a unique niche. DNA Painter is both confusing and useful.
A Family Tree DNA test shows my mtDNA is J1c2c2. My most distant known maternal ancestor is Nancy Tanner, born 1797 in Delaware. Knowing my maternal haplogroup has done nothing for me, although it's mildly interesting that it's almost like Richard III's, which is J1c2c3.
My nephew's Y-DNA haplogroup is I-M253. His autosomal DNA results show that he is, indeed my nephew, as we share 1742 centimorgans. In addition, other Crooks have contacted him as Y-DNA matches.
Other than that, the main information I've gleaned from DNA tests is that there are no unexpected parental events in my heritage.
I married twice. Both husbands were abusive. I would prefer not to have them linked from this profile, even though I had one child by the first abusive human and two children by the second. The kids are interesting and generally good; but those husbands--yuck.
My mother, still living, has been DNA tested, and this test confirms that she is my mother. The way Ancestry puts it: "You and [name redacted because she's living] share 3,456 centimorgans across 56 DNA segments....people sharing 3,456 cM have the following relationship: 100% Parent/Child."
