Dd and I did 23andme many years ago. As far as what you put online, you can use a fake name if you like. I am not up on if they do anything identifiable (other than give them to us), so if that's a concern you might want to look into that. As far as health issues, you have to check something (or something like that) if you want to see the more serious possibilities. Yes, there may always be skeletons in the closet...but I am one who prefers to know. As an ashkenazi Jew, a ton of relatives come up for me. Its a little confusing because there are even a crazy amount of people projected to be second cousins that I can't find commonalities with as far as last names, etc...but I really dont know anything about my family beyond my grandparents so there is a lot I dont know.
