Maybe better that way than when they show up at your dad's funeral. Happened to my mother.
Ol' Grandpa had a whole other family in Tejas.

I was adopted and found birth mother 20+ years ago from leg work. We couldn't get any father info from her or the family. I had thought about doing it to find him but it would be a very long shot. Besides that I was a sperm donor all the way through highschool. I don't need any surprises at my age.

You opt in or out.
I've done Ancestry.com, 23 and Me, and CRI Genetics. Similar results.
Don't wait. Hard to do after they are gone.
This reminded me of a fella in high school who complained his father made him break up with, to never see again, a new girlfriend. He reported dumping her was awkward but drama-free because her mother had told her the same thing before he arrived at her house. I guess testing has some merit for young people in rural areas.
That and making sure she didn't participate in any mRNA experiments!

I downloaded my data to another site and this is what it came up with.

So this is kinda cool, before he passed and pre-DNA kits, my grandad researched and paid for some research on his family line from us grandkids and as far back as they could go. My daughter was learning about immigration from Europe a few weeks ago so I copied a couple pages of it for her to trace the dates some of her ancestors came to the US.
This thread inspired me to do the Ancestry free trial and I've traced part of my dad's side back to the 1700s back in Prussia and Bavaria. Working on getting that far on Mom's side later.
Pretty incredible at the data and records the have available.
I had a good idea about my ancestry and where we came from, and this pretty well verified it. Almost pure Kraut, with just a tiny splash of Sweed.

Wife was an orphanage baby. She always wanted to know the answers. I got her a kit a couple years ago from Christmas but warned her not to have expectations too high for what she might find and I was right. She got lucky she was adopted because the biological mom was not the greatest person and she had a total of 8 kids with 3 men. The wife did make contact with one sister that said she had been watching for her to pop up on the registry. She remembered mom went to the hospital to have a baby and didn't come home with one. Family services intervened and made sure My wife was going to go to a better place in the end, and in this case they succeeded. From what the wife has found of other siblings she is not interested in making contact with the ones still alive. There are a couple cousins she would like to meet though. She has no regrets in the test, but was hoping for a better picture but she got the answers she was looking for.

That’s already been lost because of your cousins.

Some of my family keeps that native ancestor myth alive too. What do you get when you put 60 white people in a room? Full blooded Cherokee.My BIL claimed he was Cherokee and his mother supposedly had the card to prove it. Turns out he is ZERO % native american
He doesn't know we all learned the truth from his daughter.

Nothing to do now but wait for your social score and see if you can nab a contract to help install those facial recognition cameras.

Like some others have said my DNA and fingerprints have LONG since been public domain between the military and local and federal LEO positions. Further, some of the assignments I have had and things I have been exposed to have given me a pragmatic/fatalist view. If the government WANTS to know something about you or gather data on you they WILL. That being said I recently did my my Ancestry and was a bit surprised. I am officially the whitest person on the planet AND have the Viking path of DNA (Sweden, Denmark, Scotland, Ireland, Iceland) that was not known previsously. Also, have NOTHING south of about Austria. The English and German was known (although I anticipated much more German as that is where my name came over in 1840). Another native tale did come about for my wife's results though. She has a grandmother that is a real POS, drunk and the excuse was always she had a "disease" because Indians are predisposed to alcoholism.......Wife and kids came back 0.0000000000% Native. Turns out grandma is just a horrible, mean drunk.
I am sorry to hear about your mom but glad you have some time to prepare.
