So Ancestry.Com did send me a DNA kit. I was so excited. Here is what the kit looks like.
Inside this little packet is a vial that you spit into. Kind of gross! Then you cap it up and send it back and in 6 to 8 weeks you are told what your DNA tells about your ethnic heritage.
Here is everything ready to be sent out. And then it was wait,wait, wait. I've used Ancestry.com for years for my research but never actually put my family tree on line. So while I waited.. and waited... I started to put my information on line. Wow! It is amazing how much you can put together when you use their website. Now I have all the census records, birth records, and grave records all attached. I've spent quiet a few hours on the website while waiting.
Finally the results came in and ....well.... I'm a pretty boring person when it comes to DNA heritage.... I'm half British Isles and half Scandinavian.... No Native American, my grandma was wrong. Though I could have told anyone that as I do have over 8000 names in my data base. I now want to have either my daughters DNA done or my husbands. I know he has a lot more diverse ancestry.
It is still totally cool! If you have the extra money you should do it!
