You decided to go deep into researching your family roots and came across a website that will actually do it for you, as long as you provide all the necessary details. Most of these “family tree” providers are shameless scammers, charging a lot of money for results automatic software makes up.

How to avoid: most of these scammy sites have a small free sample test to lure people in. Submit a bogus name, such as Xy2x Yxyz – you’ll probably be amused to find that your imaginary character has his origins in Ireland.
