Rarely does FamilyTreeDNA put all of their products on sale at the same time, but this Summer Sale is a notable exception.
Not only are all new tests on sale, but so are upgrades, including mitochondrial and Y-DNA STR to Big Y-700 upgrades. So, if you’ve tested at the Y-DNA 37, 67, or 111 marker level, this is the perfect opportunity to discover more.
Plus, there are GREAT prices on bundles of multiple tests. If you aren’t sure which tests are beneficial for what, the article, 4 Kinds of DNA for Genetic Genealogy will help you sort things out.
If you’ve been considering a test or an upgrade for yourself or another family member, now’s a great time. I asked permission to upgrade a cousin’s Y-DNA just this morning, and he gladly agreed. I added a Family Finder test, too, because knowing who else in our study group he matches will help determine how closely people are related.
This sale ends in 5 days, August 31st at 1:59 am CDT, so don’t miss this opportunity.
Just the Facts, Please
Here’s the non-marketing “just the facts” list of regular and sale prices for comparison.
Are you seeing someone over the upcoming holiday weekend that would be a good testing candidate? What brick walls might be broken down?
