Yep, everyone's a member of the tribe.

I had a cousin by marriage do it recently who found out she is 2% Jєωιѕн.

I did that.  I'm mostly English, with a 4th of German, 8th Scottish.  I could also have a hint of French.  

But no Jew blood in my veins, which is ironic considering my pen name is Jєωιѕн, and people keep calling me a Zionist.

Fascinating! How's the test done? Do you have to prick yourself and drip onto blotting paper... or what?

I would dispute the fact that DNA testing is "bogus".  The solid part of it is who you match  that is showing gene matches that are big enough to indicate there is some common material.

Now, the idea of "ethnicity" is a whole different thing. The ethnicity guesses can be helpful, but the results are keyed off of an algorithm that is part true and part conjecture.  There are quite a few of these modeling ideas. Some are better and some are worse.  

DNA testing (there are several different kinds of tests) has found a substantial number of matches for me--real people that most certainly existed and are buttressed by thoroughly researched and cited "paper" tree showing the facts.  

Unfortunately, some people pay good money to receive  an ethnicity possibility that is fairly useless  without facts that are being research.

Unfortunately No. 2: Ancestry for a long time has loaded their ethnicity prediction into a model that seems to spit out a Jєωιѕн ancestor on an unbelievably large number of tests.  Is it a fix? Why of course it is!

Maybe if everyone in your family is part Jєωιѕн then maybe you are descended from a converso. I think you should take a lesson form this persons search for union with God and try to live in communion with Christ and his Church.

Biometric data-mining.

Stay clear from that ruse.

I'd call it "data-gathering", on the principle that one can't mine such data until after it's been gathered.

And I'd call it "genetic" data; altho' at least 1 readily available definition of "biometric" allows it.  I think it's inappropriate to broaden the notion of "biometric" to include data that's invasively gathered, especially when there's a well-known distinct adjective for it.

Really, "ruse" isn't strong enough a word at all; I'd call it a scam": Each customer is paying a profit-seeking organization nearly $100 to give away their personal genetic data.  Apparently it never occured to the customers that it's among the most private data that can be obtained about them, and it's among the personal data that can't be changed if circuмstances make it a disadvantage.

After all, your family story is the story that leads to you.

Whoooa!   How 'bout that for an example of "hiding in plain sight"!?

I was going to say that MyrnaM until I saw you beat me to it. Mine only went back to Noah as everyone else before him were covered in mud. But I knew where he came from.

Well, even if you were (Jєωιѕн), you could be lying to us. You know, jews can be expert liars.

Marrano anyone?
