There are a variety of upgrades on sale too for this Black Friday Sale. See the chart below from Family Tree DNA. Remember, the upgrades available to your DNA tests depends on what you have already tested.

Family Tree DNA provides an ethnicity (admixture) report, list of DNA matches, chromosome browser and allows DNA matches to contact a match directly if that match allows it. Once tested, DNA samples are stored so that additional test types (upgrades) can be added if desired. Family Tree DNA is the only genealogy DNA testing company that offers all three DNA test types: autosomal, Y-DNA and mtDNA. No subscription is needed to see/use all the DNA matching features. See our previous post containing some Reminders and Cautions regarding changes with Family Tree DNA
warnings.

As a reminder, Family Tree DNA sometimes sells its autosomal DNAtest kits (called FamilyFinder) on Amazon.com and often at sale prices when it is having a sale so if you don't need a YDNA test buying from Amazon eliminates the shipping costs. Unfortunately, at the time of this post, the FamilyFinder test is at regular price on Amazon making the better deal on the Family Tree DNA website. When or if you do buy a kit on Amazon make sure the seller shown is FamilyTreeDNA fulfilled by Amazon and not sold by a third-party unauthorized seller. Non-Amazon Prime members get free shipping due to the total cost and because it is fulfilled by Amazon; Prime members just get quicker 2-day shipping for free.

 

Look for this before adding your item to your cart.
