Discover your unique story with AncestryDNA for as little as £79
The DNA test kit to beat for genealogy
I've only recently entered my 40s, but in recent years I've been taking much more interest in my past. This has resulted in me asking my mum and dad more questions about their past than I've ever done before. I think I've discovered more about my history in the last couple of years than I did in all my years prior.
If you're keen to explore your history beyond your living relatives, then you could use a service like AncestryDNA. For as little as £79 you can get detailed insights about your family's origins, including geographical regions, as well as organise and connect with your DNA relatives with ease.
With clear-cut historical insights and rich geographic details, AncestryDNA connects you to the places in the world where your story started. Maybe most excitingly, you might even discover living relatives that you never knew you had.

AncestryDNA goes beyond just telling you which countries you’re from. If the data exists, it can pinpoint the specific journeys your ancestors embarked on, giving you insightful geographic detail about your history.
You can also view your origins, traits, and matches by parent, without requiring either of your parents to take a DNA test. This is all made possible by SideView, a specialized AncestryDNA technology.
I've only scratched the surface of what AncestryDNA is capable of, but if you're intrigued, take a look at the AncestryDNA website for more information.
