How Do Ancestry DNA Kits Work?
Ancestry DNA kits are simple and fascinating tools to help people uncover their genetic history and learn more about their family roots. Here’s how they work:
Order Your Kit
You start by ordering an Ancestry DNA kit online. The kit includes everything you need to provide your DNA sample.
Provide a Saliva Sample
Once you receive the kit, you’ll spit into a provided tube, which collects a small amount of saliva. It’s painless and takes just a few minutes!
Activate Your Kit
You’ll need to activate your DNA kit online by creating an Ancestry account (if you don’t already have one) and entering the code found on your kit. This ensures your sample is linked to your account and results remain private.
Send It Back
After your sample is ready, you package it in the prepaid box provided in the kit and mail it back to the lab for analysis. Shipping is simple and hassle-free.
DNA Analysis
Once the lab receives your sample, they extract your DNA and analyse it. This process typically takes about 6-8 weeks. Ancestry uses advanced genetic science to compare your DNA with millions of others to identify your ethnicity and genetic traits.
View Your Results Online:
When your results are ready, you’ll get an email notification. You can log into your Ancestry account to explore your ancestry report, which includes:
Ethnicity Estimate
A breakdown of your DNA by region, showing the percentage of your heritage from different parts of the world.
DNA Matches:
You’ll see potential relatives based on shared DNA, helping you connect with distant cousins or even close family members you didn’t know about.
Traits Report (if you opted for this feature):
Insights into specific traits like eye color, athletic ability, and even personality tendencies that may be linked to your genetic makeup.
Explore and Connect:
Once you have your results, you can start diving into your family history, contact DNA matches, build family trees, and explore more about where your ancestors came from.
The process is quick, easy, and can reveal surprising and exciting details about your heritage and genetic traits!
