AncestryDNA
Some weeks ago I got an AncestryDNA invite. I waited too long and missed my chance to order a kit. I was obviously disappointed. Then I checked my e-mail the other day and what do you know: a new invite. And this time I didn't putz around!
I've done DNA testing before, though not through Ancestry. Both my parents tested through 23andMe and I tested my mtDNA and did an autosomal test (Family Finder) through FamilyTreeDNA. The AncestryDNA test is also an autosomal test. I'll probably be the one to take the test, but I might try and talk my father into it instead - or maybe my grandmother (though that will be a real long shot). We'll see.
I'm curious as to how a quarter of my ancestry will be interpreted: my Italian portion. At FamilyTreeDNA it was classified as "Romanian, Tuscan." I'm also interested in my possible matches - hopefully there will be some new folks I haven't previously found on Ancestry.com
I'm interested in knowing what others thought of the test and results. Have you taken the AncestryDNA test? What is your opinion?
Disclosure: I have no affiliation with Ancestry.com and paid the $99 for the test same as everyone else. I received no remuneration of any kind by anyone for writing this post.

My British Isles and Scandinavian (!) results are at From Maine to Kentucky and my husband's Eastern European and British Isles (!) results are at A Jewish Genealogy Journey.
ReplyDeleteI'm trying to decide if I should try one of the other DNA sites, especially for my husband's Eastern European genes, to see if the results are similar.
