MyHeritage DNA Early Holiday Shopping Sale -- Just $19.90 until Nov. 11

There is an Early Holiday Shopping Sale over at MyHeritage for MyHeritageDNA. The lowest price ever has returned -- just $19.90 for MyHeritage DNA. The autosomal DNA test is regularly $89. This sale ends November 11, 2026.

There are two options: just the test or the test with a free trial data subscription.

MyHeritage DNA test for $19.90, plus taxes and shipping. Sometimes you will be offered free shipping if you move away from the browser page. Usually there is an offer to purchase two test kits and get free standard shipping.

MyHeritage DNA test plus 30-day Complete free trail* for $19.90, plus taxes and free shipping.

*After 30 days, you'll enjoy a 50% discount and be charged $299 $149 for the first year. The Complete subscription renews annually. You can cancel anytime.

Remember, MyHeritage ended its DNA uploads of DNA test data from other DNA genealogy testing sites back in August 2025. So now you do have to test directly with MyHeritage DNA. And at this new low sale price it should not be a hard decision to get yourself or your tester into another DNA match pool.

Last year MyHeritage announced it is transitioning to Whole Genome Sequencing of its MyHeritage DNA tests. We mentioned it in this post. All tests are being processed with Whole Genome Sequencing. Males who test will get look at their Y-DNA haplogroup like a couple other genealogy testing companies provide. But if you want a Y-DNA test, FamilyTree DNA is the place to test.

Have a great holiday season this year!

MCGG Let's Talk...Genealogy discussion group meets in-person (hybrid) this Wednesday, October 14, 2026, at 6:30 p.m. in the Local History & Genealogy Room of the Mount Clemens Public Library. Our topic is ... Where Do I Go From Here?

Bring research questions, brick walls, or new finds to share with the group! Let's share our challenges, maybe someone will have an idea to solve them.

Why is this our most popular discussion topic? Because it is your opportunity to get your questions or problems hopefully answered. But not just from one point of view but often several. And, when you have a new genealogy find you have like-minded genealogists who understand that satisfaction when maybe family members do not.

Our plan is that our meetings will be hybrid meaning the meeting will be in-person with a virtual Zoom option. The Zoom meeting link (or registration link) will now be found on our Southeast Michigan Genealogy Events Calendar and our Facebook page.
