Everyone’s family tree looks a little different. Still, no matter how much you think you know about your bloodline and its history, there still might be lots you haven’t uncovered yet. Your late relatives may have been part of some historic event, giving you unlimited bragging rights. Or, you could be related to an A-list (...or D-list) celebrity. Even crazier: You might actually be connected to an infamous serial killer featured on the latest true crime documentary, you never know! It’s crazy to think about, but the fact is that you can find all of this out with the AncestryDNA Genetic Test Kit. The at-home DNA test specializes in uncovering family information like this—and the good news is that it’s a whopping 61% off at $39 during Amazon’s October Prime Day (officially known as Prime Big Deal Days), which ends today, October 9.
Sure, there are plenty of DNA tests out there that you could purchase. However, it’s worth noting that AncestryDNA is a subsidiary of Ancestry.com, a popular and highly reputable site known for its extensive research on people’s family trees. The direct-to-consumer genealogy company (which also is behind the Peacock show “Who Do You Think You Are,” where celebs find out their family history) uses your saliva as a foundation, using the test results to connect you to other chromosomes available for research—ultimately collecting data on your family's genetic history from both of your parents’ sides. Through this process, you are also connected to other possible DNA matches—which could (emphasis on *could*) be an interesting turn of events.
Once you order and receive a kit, you’ll want to follow the rather simple instructions. Once your saliva sample is sent properly, you’ll receive your generic results in six to eight weeks, which can be viewed through your email.
Kits such as these have notoriously been the reason behind breakthroughs in serial killer cases nationwide. Does the Golden Gate Killer sound familiar? Yeah, well, you can thank DNA tests like AncestryDNA for helping solve that one. That alone should be enough to intrigue you.
