 I think it also helps to verify things sometimes. For example my dad found evidence that we are related to Sitting Bull (an ancestor married his aunt) so such a test could at least verify that I do have some Sioux blood. Also there is a composer Jan Josef Ignác Brentner who lived from 1689 – 1742 who was Czech (my direct ancestor was from Germany) and I wonder if we might be related. My surname is also Brentner.  I don't know if he had any kids (if not he may have had siblings or cousins and I may descend from one of them).
