DNA companies: "Give us your DNA, and we'll tell you where you come from!"

I've refrained from using any of these genetic testing companies for obvious (to this community, at least) reasons, but I would like to know that information. Considering advances in technology, is DIYing it a reasonable thing yet?

I hate to be the one to tell you this, but historically, people who couldn't write weren't able to write

I feel like there’s a huge gaping hole where advice to consumers not located in California should go.
That's absolutely not their job or place to say though, they don't have any jurisdiction or way to know processes outside of their state
