I don't know if it was around in 2014, but https://promethease.com/ can do this analysis for you, including from AncestryDNA and 23andme. I plan on using it once my AncestryDNA results finally come back.
also -- https://dna.land/ seems to give extremely similar (possibly identical?) results, for free
Has anyone used 23andme with fake information? If so, how?

Neat! Might as well do both and see how they compare :)
I just plugged my 23andme data into both. Waiting for results. I was thinking of sharing the results, is anyone interested? Is there really any good reason not to? I know people get all uptight about it but I'm not sure why.
People get uptight because in the future someone like an employment agency or life insurance company might buy one of these services and use the data to discriminate.
There's also social consequences that may come of this, like if you had a one night stand, public publishing your DNA might create a bread crumb for your child to find you which could be a good or bad thing depending on if you had a spouse at the time for example.

It affects you more than you might think.
I personally want the truth, no matter what, so after a few weeks of thinking about things, I was ok with what I learned. The hard part is dealing with family members than may not feel the same. People need to be aware of just how messy this can get.

I found out I have a surprise half-sister through 23andme. It also turns out that my Dad may not actually be my biological father. It affects you more than you might think.

> Dad may not actually be my biological father
Wow, what a pair of bombshells!
Was this stuff known to both your parents or did it blow someone's cover?

How did you find out about your half sister? I thought 23&me only gives you information about yourself and nobody else?!

Still threw me for a loop at first, though.
