To
celebrate National DNA Day AncestryDNA and FTDNA have some great sale prices on
their DNA tests.
AncestryDNA Sales - https://www.ancestry.com/
Ancestry has their atDNA Test on sale for $79, a 20% discount off the normal price of $99.
FTDNA Sales - https://www.familytreedna.com/
FTDNA
has all their DNA tests on sale. The
atDNA Test (FamilyFinder) is $59, which is $20 off their regular price of
$79. They also have excellent sale
prices on their mtDNA and Y-DNA tests, along with sale prices on their atDNA
tests in combination with mtDNA and Y-DNA tests.
Even
though the atDNA test is $20 less on FTDNA, my recommendation is to take the
AncestryDNA test at this sale price of $79 and once you get your test results
from Ancestry you can transfer your DNA data to FTDNA for only $19. This way you have in effect taken tests at both
companies for only $98 and your DNA results are compared to two different data
bases resulting in more cousin matches.
Both testing companies have great tools to analyze your results but
Ancestry tools are less difficult to use for the beginner.
I will be giving a presentation on DNA at the GENCOM meeting Sunday 23 April 2017 at 2 PM at the Broadmoor Library, and will be glad to answer any questions that anyone has about DNA testing and working with test results.
Happy ancestor hunting.
