This question was asked only a few minutes ago by someone asking practically exactly the same statements and questions as you. Seems suspiciously like the same person is using a different account. However, the answer is the same........

Not exactly. DNA tests in genealogy will tell you generally the geographic origins of your ancestors based on having DNA that is common in certain populations of people in certain areas of the world. But it will NOT tell you who your ancestors are. They do not have DNA samples from everyone that ever lived, or hardly anyone that lived more than a few decades ago. You are not going to find out by DNA testing if King so and so from 1492 AD is your 18th great-grandfather.

EDIT: Very intersting. This question was asked a few minutes ago by someone named Brianna, and this user Lou Lou answered it; yet turns around and practically re-asked the same question. Seems like someone is playing with multiple accounts which violates Yahoo rules. Both have been reported so Yahoo can figure out what is what with this.
