Last year I wrote about DNA testing, and thousands of you visited the GenealogyBank Blog page and many commented (see My Genealogy Results from Multiple DNA Tests<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Since then Ancestry DNA has sent their customers \u201cnew results\u201d that changed their previous conclusions. I liked the update Ancestry DNA sent me \u2013 I thought it was more precise and a closer match to the family history we have on the family (going back to the 1300s) than the report they sent me last year.<\/p>\n

So, I have decided to rewrite that original essay on my DNA conclusions and expand the number of DNA tests that I am comparing.<\/p>\n

This time I am adding in the MyHeritage DNA test results as well as the details of the \u201cnew\u201d Ancestry DNA analysis.<\/p>\n

I ordered the MyHeritage DNA kit and it arrived.
\nFirst impression: sturdy packaging and clear instructions.<\/p>\n

I prepared the two cheek swabs: first on one side and then the other.<\/p>\n

The long swabs easily snapped off in the small vials so that they could be returned to MyHeritage.<\/p>\n

I put the vials in the plastic bag and inside the small mailing pouch, as instructed, and took it to the Post Office this morning.<\/p>\n

Simple.
\nNow I am just waiting for the results.
\nWhen I get them, I\u2019ll let you know what I\u2019ve learned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
