DNA tracing back to the Old Country?

National Geographic has launched something called the Genographic Project where you pay $100 for a testing kit, take a couple of swabs inside your cheek, and they will type it and tell you where your genetic ancestors came from.

It's an interesting story. A Catholic priest in New Mexico found out he's from African Jews, a black man who thought he was African turned out to be more Irish than anything else, etc. I'm tempted to do it, sounds kind of cool.
