Genealogy DNA Test
I'm interested in getting one of these done. Has anyone ever got this done? If so where? and how affordable was it?

I've wanted to do this as well. I think about a year ago I saw it on the Discovery channel website for like 100 bucks. I wanted to do it but couldn't part with the 100 bucks at the time. Now I can't find it. Let me know if you do please.

My sister and I had one of these done to check for genetic mutations or whatnot. THey're really simple to get. It just takes a while to get the results back.

I'm definitely going to order a kit for myself. I know my ancestry includes Hawaiian, Chinese, Filipino, Spanish, Basque, Cuban, Puerto Rican and French lines, so it will be interesting to see them mapped out. I just wish they could trace my father's line also. I gather that test is only for males.
I'm going to order a kit for my brother as well. He was adopted at birth also and has been trying to find out information on his ethnicity and his birthparents.

I have been interested in doing that also. I have been working on my Genealogy for over a year and I found out that my 12th great grandmother is Catherine Cary, who is supposedly the illegitimate child of King Henry VIII, but DNA is the only way to confirm it.

I am planning to do what ProLogic is inquiring about as well.
There are several mysteries in my family------especially on my maternal grandmother's side.
EDIT: I just sent away for two kits-------one for each for my parents' family trees.
My known heritage is Hungarian, English, French, etc.
