Ancestry is having a Cyber Sale on AncestryDNA until Monday, November 28, 2022, at 11:59 p.m. ET. Remember taxes and shipping are extra.

The AncestryDNA Traits + All-Access Membership (3-Month) is on sale for $139, regular price is $199.

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.

From Ancestry.com, a look at AncestryDNA with and without a data membership/subscription.

 

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 Traits now gives a look at 35+ personal traits. This add-on is regularly $20 and is on sale for $10.

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. Here is the update as of Black Friday. For this sale, as of now when this post was written the AncestryDNA test is listed at $59 a sale but not as good as at the Ancestry.com website. However, the AncestryDNA+Traits test is listed for sale at $49 matching the AncestryDNA sale price at the Ancestry.com website which means you essentially getting the Traits option for free. Or think of it however you want knowing you get two things for the sale price of the one. So, this time the sale price on the Amazon website for AncestryDNA+Traits is as good as the Ancestry website deal for the AncestryDNA test 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.

Look for this before adding your item to your cart.

 

See you soon someday at our favorite library!
