If you’re curious about where you came from, head over here to pick up an Ancestry DNA kit from Walmart for $59 (usually $99).
“DNA Results
Make personal discoveries quickly with our clear, easy-to-read ethnicity estimate that traces your DNA back to over 1,500 regions from around the world. Your DNA results will include a pie chart and percentages of your ethnicity, geographic locations pinpointed on maps, and depending on your regions, a timeline of historical changes with curated content. Some backgrounds may also include how and why your ancestors moved from place to place around the world.
DNA Matches
Your results can identify potential relatives through DNA matching to others who have taken an AncestryDNA test. And we make DNA connections easy and effortless. Ancestry has tools like tagging, grouping, and custom labeling to help you organize the people with shared DNA. And remember, you can always opt in or out of being visible to DNA matches—your privacy and personal control is our top priority.
Go Beyond Your DNA
AncestryDNA has a unique ability to tap into the family history resources of Ancestry—so you can fill in more pieces of your story. With an Ancestry membership, you can combine what you learn from your DNA with the added value of over 100 million family trees on Ancestry. By pairing your DNA results with a family tree you can gain even more insight on the who, what, where, and when of your unique background.”
