Black Friday / Cyber Monday are Here! Even Better Deals can be Found!

note: originally posted at Friday, November 23, 2018, at 12:58 p.m. ET
It's Black Friday! There are lots of savings to be found around the internet and, of course, outside at the stores near home. Here is a run down of some newly announced savings.

Family Tree DNA
Just this morning Family Tree DNA announced its Family Finder (autosomal) DNA test is now on sale for its LOWEST PRICE EVER -- Just $39.

This offer at Family Tree DNA is good until November 26, 2018. Shipping and taxes are extra which vary depending on where the test is being shipped BUT for this sale there is reduced shipping costs on all test kits. Shipping to Michigan was $12.95 (the last we know of) which covers receiving and sending (domestic only) the test so it should be less than that.

Individual Tests
Autosomal Test (male or female) 
Family Finder is now $39, regularly $79 save $40 
This is now the test's lowest price offer ever.

ALSO the large variety of DNA tests that were on sale until yesterday, are still on sale today. See are previous post on the Thanksgiving offer but remember that the FamilyFinder test is now only $39. So if you thought you missed the Thanksgiving Offer you are in luck.

23andMe 
23andMe is having a Black Friday Sale too. At its website, you will find the 23andMe Ancestry Service (autosomal DNA) test on sale for $69 (regularly $99) and the 23andMe Ancestry + Health Service test on sale for $129 (regularly $199) with taxes and shipping extra. If you are interested in the 23andMe Ancestry + Health service test keeping reading this post under Amazon.

Amazon 
There are wide variety of items on sale at Amazon today and over the weekend thru Cyber Monday. Some sales are today only, some run thru Monday, some will be Monday only. 

One to note is that there is a $5 off any PRINT book order of $20 (code NOVBOOK18) that is sold and shipped by Amazon. The coupon code (see offer for other restrictions) is good until November 25, 2018, at 11:59 p.m. (PT).

Look for the above before buying.
Also the 23andMe Ancestry + Health Service is on sale for half-off only at Amazon. Regularly $199, now just $99. Remember to make sure to look for the Sold by 23andMe, Inc and Fulfilled by Amazon to be sure you are buying from 23andMe and not some other third-party seller.

Family Tree Magazine 
Family Tree Magazine is having a 50% off storewide sale from today until Monday, November 26, 2018. Note: there are few items not included in the sale. How-to Genealogy Videos are also 50% off. You can check shipping rates here if you are trying to decide where the best deals are for the books you are seeking.

Other 
According to GenealogyBargains Holiday Gift Guide, Ancestry.com Gift Memberships are 50 percent off too.

This are some of the many different genealogy-related websites that are offering Black Friday and Cyber Monday savings. We will highlight some of them that we know interest our members. See some of our more recent posts on the sales that started early. But rather than recreate the wheel, remember to visit Genealogy Bargains website often over the next several days to keep an eye on Thomas MacEntee's list of all the genealogy bargains he has found.

Lastly, keep an eye out over the weekend or on Monday for sales at the different genealogy software companies.  
  • Legacy Family Tree has announced its Black Friday sale, just click on the Black Friday listing to see what is included in the 50% off sale. See our prior post on Legacy Family Tree and Family Tree Webinars
  • Heredis is being sold for up to 80% off thru GenealogyBargains through Sunday, November 25, 2018. (If you go to the Heredis software website it is showing regular price. But if you already own an older version of Heredis you likely have an email with the offer direct from the company.) 
  • RootsMagic via Genealogy Bargains just announced this afternoon a bundled sale of three of its products and books with a free upgrade to RootsMagic 8 when it is released in 2019 for 67 percent off. The download and ebooks bundle is just $29.95 with no shipping costs rather than $89.80 regular price. The download with printed books is just $39.95 with shipping costs rather than the $89.80 regular price.
Hopefully more genealogy software companies will be having sale too.

See you soon at Mt. Clemens Public Library!
