My father never knew much about his ancestors, so when I was 10 years old, we went to North Carolina for a summer vacation so that he could visit the records room where his father grew up. . Unfortunately - and it's a true story - she had burned to the ground years earlier. We went home without learning anything. For Father's Day, I now have the chance to give him the gift of knowledge about his genealogy, because Ancestry has a sale on DNA tests and subscriptions to its records services. Here's how to save DNA for Dad's Day (or just to test for yourself).
Save 30% on the Ancestry DNA test, which allows you to see your ethnic distribution, the regions of the world where you come from and to get leads on other people with whom you are related who also took the test . Simply send your saliva sample using the prepaid package and your report will be ready in 6 to 8 weeks.
The Ancestry Health Test gives you an overview of your well-being and suggests concrete next steps you can take with a health care provider. Ancestry also includes tools on family history and access to genetic counseling resources.
Ancestry's subscription service allows recipients to explore their American roots with access to billions of documents from all 50 states. This is a non-renewable six-month subscription, so don't worry about getting accidentally recharged when it expires.
