Ancestry's Holiday Sale currently ongoing continues until November 24, 2021, at 11:59 p.m. What savings will we get for Thanksgiving, Black Friday and Cyber Monday? If you can wait it might be worth it. If not, get your savings now.
The AncestryDNA (autosomal) test regularly $99 is on sale for $59, a savings of 40 dollars. Shipping and taxes are extra.
There are additional combination options also available.
AncestryDNA test results provide an ethnicity/admixture report, a AncestryDNA match list, shared matches, an internal member messaging system, and automatic updates to results. As well as some basic information from ThruLines which is Ancestry's replacement or next generation of New Ancestor Discoveries and DNA Circles. See the chart below.
Be aware that with an active paid subscription to Ancestry, there is fuller access to some DNA features such as all available information about people is shown in ThruLines; Matches' public family trees are viewable instead of just a preview of five generations; and up to seven generations of surnames instead of up to five surnames are shown for direct ancestor surnames from your matches' trees.

Access to these extra features end if you discontinue your data subscription. Some of these extra features require a public family tree linked to the AncestryDNA kit.

AncestryDNA
is the one DNA/genealogy testing site that does not provide a
chromosome browser tool which allows you to see the chromosome segments
you share in common with a match which is one of the scientific ways to
confirm a match is a true match and not a match by chance. To access a
chromosome browser you would need to download your kit's DNA data and
upload that data to one of the three companies that do provide a
chromosome browser: MyHeritageDNA, Family Tree DNA, and the third-party
GedMatch.com website.
We are not sure if the FREESHIPDNA code will work on the Ancestry website with this sale but it does not hurt to try it.
Do you want just the DNA test and do you want to save on shipping costs?
Remember AncestryDNA
also sells its test kits on Amazon.com and often at sale prices when it
is
having a sale. For this sale, as of now when this post was written
the AncestryDNA test is listed at $59 and AncestryDNA+Traits is
also listed at $69. So, this time the
sale price on the Amazon website is as good as the Ancestry website deal
or a bit better because shipping is free. Non-Amazon Prime
members get free shipping due to the
total cost and because it is fulfilled by Amazon while Amazon Prime members
just get
quicker 2-day shipping for free. But be cautious and make sure the test
kit you are buying is "sold by AncestryDNA Official and fulfilled by
Amazon" to insure you are buying a genuine test kit. You will find this
information just below the price. See the image below.

See you soon someday at our favorite library!
