For xmas Oliver very kindly bought us the Ancestry.com DNA kit which we have just logged on to do.

| Box containing the instructions and sample pot. |

| Sample pot which you spit into, then add the blue liquid which is a stabiliser for the postage journey. |

All ready to go!
Basically you spit into a sample pot and that is posted off and the DNA extracted to find where your ancestors came from, or the regions of the world anyway.
It'll be very interesting to see the results as our trees differ considerably. Tara has ancestors from England, Ireland, Scotland, France & Switzerland,but in any direction I have gone it's all English and south east/ south west England to boot. I do have two Great Great Great Grandfathers who were born in Ireland but that's very little and a long way back (early 18th century).
Results can take anything up to eight weeks to come back so its a while away yet but I'll keep you posted.
