What service did you use? I am thinking of doing the same because I think it would be fun to find out about my ancestors. Good luck, SilleeMee.

@Trinity11,

I used Ancestry. Go to retailmenot and get one of their coupons for either free shipping or 10% off. Good luck. I'm excited!

Re: I just ordered my AncestryDNA!

@SilleeMee, I ordered 23andMe yesterday. I wanted a more comprehensive one. Ancestry has a couple. My sister did the one that she got for $50 with a Groupon coupon. It only showed 4 ethnicities...European, Native American, African, and Asian. They have a more comprehensive one also for $99.

 

Let me tell you...we had a total surprise in our results! That led me to want more information...along with the medical information also.

 

It's fun, and we belong to Ancestry (dot) com, so I'll be doing a lot of digging. Whatever the results, enjoy and celebrate your ancestry!

@Yardlie,

I got the 99 one. I didn't know of any other one from Ancestry. I want to get the 23&me  done eventually...does this one tell you about your medical background?

Re: I just ordered my AncestryDNA!

My husband gave me this for Christmas and it was very exciting.  I found out, to my great surprise, that my number one heritage is Irish.  We had a big St. Patrick's Day family dinner celebration because of our new discovery.  It was tons of fun.  Congrats and enjoy!!

@Karlakaye,

How exciting is that!  I've been on the fence a long time...well at least since this kind of dna thing has been out...and I'm besides myself. I think I'm going to find out that I have blood from around the world!Woman Very Happy
