My husband told me at lunch that 23&Me is in the financial news saying they are possibly going bankrupt. I wanted to let you know right away for those who were interested. If you are already a client, you can have them delete all your information which I did today. Once they go into bankruptcy if they do you will not have any control of how your DNA is handled and that is a bad place to be.
Another highly respected company that offers ancestry services and has DNA kits is Ancestry.com. I worked with them for ages building my family tree and never had a problem. They are another option to check out. If I were to have my DNA tested again, I would go with Ancestry.com. But I suggest you do your homework and go with the company you feel most comfortable with, just avoid small companies who might not make it long term.

I started taking screen shots, but I’m not sure I’ll delete my account. It’s likely whatever anyone wanted is already taken.
