In a survey being conducted by the Southern California Genealogical Society 20% of folks, up to the time I responded, agreed with the statement "I have (DNA) results and they helped me prove or disprove a family connection."
There are many success stories, but not many that show benefits for both family history and health. One such is an out of this world story of a woman in Roswell using a test from 23andMe. Read it at:

One opportunity to learn more about DNA for family history comes at the Quebec Family History Society Roots 2011 conference, June 3-5 at McGill University where I'll be presenting "DNA Testing for Genealogy: Not Just for Men."
