Ancestry are doing a 25% discount on their DNA package. If anybody's interested, the offer ends tomorrow (26th May).

I know there's been some debate on the value of these DNA tests.

Do you think we Brits are more selective in our spending??? :-D

Yes but there is a postage charge of £20, so the cost is still over £90, even after the discount.

the information you get from that test isn't worth the money, IMHO


and yes, the Americans are the gullible ones :-)
