DNA test didn't give much detail

I applied for a DNA test from BritainsDNA for £170. Its website shows two celebrity cases – Tom Conti, whose test showed he shares ancestors with Napoleon, and Fred Macaulay, who learned he has Irish heritage. To my disgust my report is so general it could apply to a large swath of the British population. It has no information on recent history. PR, Swansea The example report on the firm's website is, if anything, less detailed than the one you received, so I didn't hold any hopes for a refund. The company acknowledged that the two celebrities had "exceptional results" but said: "Our website makes quite clear that our tests concern deep ancestry and will usually relate to genetic heritage rather than genealogy." It said yours is the first complaint it has received. You can email Mark King at [email protected] or write to Mark King, Your Problems, The Observer, Kings Place, 90 York Way, London N1 9GU.
