I must admit, I did the ancestry.com DNA test.
And it provided me with a lot of insight about my family tree, which I’ve traced back to around the year 1000 in England.
But this price now?
Well, it is already done.
I had done a lot of genealogy and had traced relatives back to the UK, Jamestown, Mayflower and pre revolutionary war.
A sibling has a daughter really into genealogy, and the sib paid for a year of Ancestor.com and a DNA test as a gift to me, this past Christmas.
My wife and I are basically in our 80’s and our adult children are in their 50’s. So, we discussed if they were okay with me doing the DNA testing.
Everyone said to do it, and I did this spring. My DNA has identified a few hundred living cousins, which we knew nothing about.
In about 6 months, my ancestral DNA printout has shifted from a fairly wide balance to basically UK/Scotland/Ireland and North west Europe, mainly France, Germany and Switzerland. My DNA didn’t change, but the # of DNA donors @ Ancestry.com has increased in size. I don’t really understand this, but that is what Ancestor.com has told us.
