You don’t need a genealogy expert to uncover your familial past. The advent of at-home DNA tests has made ancestral deep-diving a little easier (for better and for worse) by simply mailing a saliva sample to a lab, waiting weeks for processing, and viewing your genetic details online. If you’re interested in unlocking your past with a DNA test— one that reviewers say is “eye-opening, easy to use and truly insightful” and provides a “the start of a deeper personal journey” — Amazon has an incredible deal on an AncestryDNA test. Normally $99, you can grab one today on sale for just $40, so jump on this deal before the price shoots back up. This could make an awesome gift and a smart buy just weeks ahead of Mother’s Day!
Once you purchase the kit, you can activate it online and submit your spit sample with the included prepaid mailing kit.
This AncestryDNA kit claims to detail a person’s origins from 2,600 global regions and reviewers say it’s super simple to use. After six to eight weeks — though some user reviews say results may come faster than that — you’ll receive an interactive report with details on your ethnicity and geographic origins, as well as your ever-expanding family tree full of other users who’ve used AncestryDNA in the past.
