It is that time of year again, DNA Day, April 25, 2016.

First out of the gate is AncestryDNA with a DNA Day sale of $79 plus about $9.95 shipping and handling. That is 20 percent off the regular price of $99. Sale ends April 26, 2016 at 11:59 p.m. ET. AncestryDNA is an Autosomal DNA test that anyone can take and compare to anyone else.

Some people are having success with the coupon code FREESHIPDNA listed at RetailMeNot.com so give it a try to see if works for you.

Want to save some money getting your test into two different DNA match pools? You can download your AncestryDNA test data (when the results are in) and do an autosomal data transfer to FamilyTreeDNA. The initial autosomal transfer is free which lets you see your top twenty matches. To unlock the transfer to see and do everything you can with autosomal tests (called FamilyFinder at FamilyTree DNA) it costs just $39. So with a good sale of AncestryDNA and the low transfer cost, you end up at two DNA tests sites for just a little more than the cost of one test at the regular price.

When I see any other DNA sales announced I'll let you know.

See you soon at Mt. Clemens Public Library!
