Genealogy is huge right now so this Mother’s Day, give your mum the exciting opportunity to discover more about herself and the unique stories hidden in her genes with the AncestryDNA test.

The perfect gift for the most important woman in your life, AncestryDNA  provides a personal ethnicity estimate from up to thousands of years ago from 26 separate regions across the globe (including Great Britain, Ireland, Scandinavia, Middle East, Asia Central, East and South and nine African regions). She can also uncover new family connections as the test matches users with a database of more than 3 million people worldwide who have taken the test.

The kit is very easy to use, you activate the kit online, gather your DNA – which is just some salvia, and then you send it away. You will then find out where you and your ancestors were from. Pretty exciting.

Available at www.ancestrydna.co.uk for £79 + postage but there is a special Mother’s Day gift discount up until March 26th: £69 + postage. That is £10 off.
