Ancestry Members Get It For Half Price
Have you always wanted to get your DNA checked? I have! With prices the way they are these days though, I just couldn’t justify the amount some sites were asking. But then, I got an email from Ancestry that said they’re offering DNA testing at half the price for their members. I just couldn’t pass that up. I really want to know where my dad’s side of the family originated, so I sent for the test and my brother got it today. I just ordered it last weekend, so that was pretty quick shipping, don’t you think?
As soon as he swabs the inside of his cheek and gets the test sent back, we should get the results in a few weeks. Hey, this isn’t CSI, I know it takes a while for the analysis. If I get flush with some more extra cash I might get my mother’s side of the family DNA done too. I have until September 30th. My birthday is September 2nd, so maybe the birthday fairy will be nice to me… 
I ordered the Advanced Paternal Lineage Test. Which test would you order?

wow, that is really cool. Who’d have thought we’d see “technology” come this far? I don’t blame you for not passing up the opportunity.

I just got an email from Ancestry today and they said they have the test back from my brother, so when they get done they will send me another link to the results (with explanations, I hope).
I don’t see how this can do much good yet… wouldn’t you need a large database of previously tested dna to match up to? I don’t think my great grandmother’s dna is sitting in the ancestry database.. Am I missing something?
If they are trying to build a database to work from, they should offer the tests at cost for a couple of years until they get something to work with. Just my opinion…
That’s really cool! I would love to have my DNA checked and find more about my ancestors. It’s amazing how many things you can discover through DNA information!
