It’s Here, It’s Here

This week we celebrated Christmas and the day after that, I celebrated DNA. y-DNA to be exact. I recently ordered two DNA kits. The first was to study the y-DNA in my O’Connell line, I ordered this through FtDNA. The second is the family finder test through 23 and Me. The first test to arrive was the FtDNA test, which if I am being perfectly honest is the one I am most concerned about.

So, O’Connell male (who shall remain nameless) I thank you for the gift of your DNA cheek swab this week. I look forward to the results and what they might be able to tell us.

If you are curious about your DNA, Family Tree DNA has a sale on their tests that ends soon. Purchase now to get the sale price.
