Ancestry.com DNA test
A week or two ago I got an email from Ancestry.com announcing a $20-off sale on their DNA tests. I had been thinking about having the test done, so I sent for the kit. It arrived yesterday, so I activated the kit and returned my sample that afternoon. These genetic tests for ethnicity and genealogy may be more astrology than astronomy, but they are advancing, and it will be interesting none the less, to see what the results say.
My family history search has pinned me down to Scotland, Ireland, and England, through every branch of the family tree that I've been so far able to follow. But I have to wonder, that if any traces of the cheese from the sandwich I'd had earlier in the day made it into the sample, if the results will come back and say that centuries ago, a distant relative was a milking cow from Guernsey. LOL
