Question:

What website can i put my genetic results in and find my ancestors?

I want to compare it against or try to find out how closely related I am to most of the people in North America. I remeber finding a website a while ago, and I could put in D3S1358 results and etc. It matched me up with being mixed with african american and hispanic.

"DNA BasicsDNA Home Back Genetic Genealogy OverviewWhat you can learn from your DNA
You might already be familiar with how DNA testing can help solve crimes, confirm the paternity of children, and even determine the identity of ancient mummies. Now DNA can also help you with your genealogical research. It's a simple and painless process to gather your DNA sample and within a few weeks have results that you can compare with the ever-expanding DNA Ancestry database to find potential genetic cousins.

Finding genetic cousins
By comparing your DNA Ancestry test results with others, you can determine to what extent you are related. For example, the more closely your result set matches another's, the narrower the range of generations between the two of you and your common ancestor.

As the DNA Ancestry database grows, we will automatically compare your result against each new entry. If a close match is found, you will receive an e-mail with a link to a page that describes how your two test results match. You can now begin communicating with your genetic cousin using Ancestry.com's Connection Service as the first step towards comparing the genealogies of your two families.
Discover ancient ancestry
In addition to finding genetic cousins, your DNA test can also reveal your ancient origins. Beginning over 170,000 years ago, our ancient human ancestors migrated out of Africa and began their slow and steady spread across the continents. Over time as these ancestors spread throughout the world and adapted to their new surroundings and environments, their DNA diversified and they became genetically distinct from one another. Today, these differences can be traced through DNA and provide insights on how your ancient ancestors migrated and diversified into distinct populations.

DNA and Genealogy

All humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, including a pair of sex chromosomes, known as "X" and "Y". Males have both an X- and a Y-chromosome (with the Y-chromosome inherited from the father) while females have two X-chromosomes (one X-chromosome inherited from each parent.) Genetic Genealogy is interested in heritage markers or the area of the chromosome which reveals family relatedness.

Father-to-Son
Because the Y-chromosome is passed essentially unchanged from father-to-son, it provides genetic genealogists with a powerful tool for tracing a paternal lineage. Specific portions of the Y-chromosome are analyzed and compared against other participants' Y results to determine the relatedness between the two participants.
Mother-to-Child
Since both parents contribute X-chromosomes to their daughters, a different source of DNA must be used to trace the maternal line. Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is inherited by both male and female children exclusively from their mothers and provides insight into one's maternal lineage. (Learn more about mitochondrial DNA.)
What DNA Ancestry Testing Cannot Do
The type of testing performed by DNA Ancestry is limited to areas of DNA that have the greatest application to genealogy which reveal insight into family relatedness. The portion of DNA tested is within the non-coding regions and do not provide distinguishing information about an individual such as hair color.
While DNA testing in general has a promising future as a tool for predicting one's chances for developing disease such as diabetes, Alzheimer's, and cancer; DNA Ancestry does not perform medical diagnostic testing on any of its DNA samples.
A common application of DNA testing is in determining the paternity of a child for custody or inheritance. Results of a DNA Ancestry test can definitively disprove a genetic relation. A large number of mismatches between two test results reflects that the two participants are not directly related. A 100% match, on the other hand, cannot be used as legal proof of paternity, but can serve as a strong indication. " Source(s):

DNA is a broad categorization... african american and hispanic is typical results, or perhaps it would show European, Asian, etc. In terms of how you are related to "most" of North America, it is completely useless. Few persons to date have done dna testing, so there is nothing to compare the results against.
Finding your specific ancestors is genealogy, and that is a totally different ball game. It is based in SPECIFICS.. ie proof of who your parents were, your grandparents, and on back. People have been tracing ancestors for many many years... long before either DNA, or even computers.
There is an exception, where DNA results can be used as supplement to genealogy, but not on its own.
