Hi Toni

My son and I have both been tested via Ancestry. They send a kit and you spit into a testtube. They email when the results are through (I think it was about 4 weeks) and then you view online. They give you options of sharing your DNA results with others on Ancestry so you can see if you have matches. Top of mine was my son, so I suppose that showed it works!

I didn't do it to help with family history (I don't have closer than distant cousin matches on Ancestry) but to see my genetic make up which was quite interesting - 3% Swedish! Who knew?!
