I just shipped my DNA to AncestryDNA

[WNYresident]

I had an unexpected Christmas gift.

The AncestryDNA Kit.

My DNA was on it way to the processing center at 2:42 PM 12/28/16

How long does it take to get my results?

Your AncestryDNA test results will normally take about 6-8 weeks to process from the time that the lab receives your DNA sample. Due to high demand, results may take longer than 8 weeks. Please note that you must also activate your DNA kit online in order to begin processing.

We'll see how long the entire process takes.

Discover the family story your DNA can tell.

Uncover your ethnic mix, discover distant relatives, and find new details about your unique family history with a simple DNA test.

I was adopted when I was 5 days old, and don't know anything about my ancestry. I'd love to get one of these

It definitely would be more enlightening to you than us that know some of our heritage

What is in the AncestryDNA Kit?




The kit was $99 plus shipping.

Included was a self addressed/paid shipping box, instructions, a bag to seal the DNA collection tube. The tube and instructions have a unique ID that they use to track the item

My adopted sister did it - she has just recently met her maternal father, sister and aunt. Her Mom is still rsisting a meeting.

My wife also did it and its awesome the info they provide.

I feel roots are valuable in knowing ourselves - there's so many questions in life ! So far my sister says its helped her in ways she didn't even consider when she did it.

My family has a complete family tree book back to where our family originated. My uncle actually invited all of us in NY State to contribute - then he used the telephone and internet over a 5 year period. We now each have a book that includes family crests from the days of the crusades and more. Cool !

Good luck to anyone doing it.

DNA gets processed quicker when it's on a blue dress 😀

You are going to find out that you have an ape in your family tree, just like every other human, including the Obamas.

My sister did this DNA kit. We were both surprised at the results. 96% English ( the island of Great Britain) with minor percent Irish,French and German. Will you post your results?

[WNYresident]

Yep. I've been told I'm 50% polish and 50% Italian. We will see how that goes when the results come in.
