DNA OF ELIZABTH I "THE VIRGIN QUEEN" : NO SHE WAS NOT MALE and YES SHE BECAME VERY ILL

There are a few things I need to remind my readers of when it comes to DNA tests and evidence. DNA has progressed over the years and though these videos seem to be quite intelligently made, there may be other opinions or revisions available.

Elizabeth I was born 7 September 1533 and passed on 24 March 1603. She was the Queen of England and Ireland from 1558 until her death. She never married or had children and is known for using white lead cosmetic to smooth her skin, which had been pitted from having smallpox and might have poisoned her and her red hair. In this video it is suggested she took great care of her appearance and sought to seem ageless in order to appear powerful to her country's enemies.

THE DNA OF RICHARD III SUGGESTS HIS MOTHER TOLD A LIE ... THE KING KNOWN FOR SCOLIOSIS

... and challenges who should have inherited the throne.  We don't know what his mother experienced or knew or if her husband knew that Richard III was not his biological son. The skeleton was found under a parking lot ... His spinal deformation and his rich seafood diet helped convince the scientists this skeleton belonged to Richard III... So they decided to find useable DNA from bones over 500 years old... The genealogist sought a living descendant or his sister Anne of York and traced her female lineage - seventeen generations. On the paternal side though, living relatives were found and it was a mismatch! But it could have been that Richard III himself was not where the DNA lineage break occurred but went back a generation or so.

Excerpt from the station : a discovery that suggests a massive deception at the heart of the English monarchy.

ARE DNA TESTING COMPANIES GOING TO GO BUST? SEEMS THE DNA TESTING BOOM IS OVER


YAHOO FINANCE : ONCE HOT DNA TESTING article by Daniel Roberts

Excerpt: It isn't just 23andme. DNA tests went boom in 2018 with the number of consumers who had bought one doubling to 25 million, now sales have gone bust.

MIT Technology Review estimates that the largest DNA test players sold just 4 million to 6 million DNA tests in 2019, an industry growth rate of 20 %, the slowest year for the industry ever.

I have never done my DNA and to my knowledge, neither has anyone in my family.  These companies and their owners have gotten rich, but the aspect of privacy invasion and your data no longer being yours (after about 20 years but currently for the use of law enforcement) is also in my opinion an aspect of the decline in interest.  Further while DNA can help you if you're truly blocked, sometimes it's impatience or amateur genealogy that's the issue.  Currently I have a friend who is stuck due to a common name and reportage of birth place different on three different census in the 1800's.  I told her I've seen death certificates from the 1940's and before in which children do not know their mother's maiden name.
