My Ancestry DNA arrived yesterday!

Amazing isn't it?
Mine has thrown up a few "cousins" whose grandparents weren't who they thought they were and I was a clue towards discovering the extra maritals.
It's also interesting to see that two people who are the same relation to me can have wildly different amounts of DNA in common with me.
I've fed the info into other websites too to get as many links as possible.

I submitted a test 3 weeks ago and got the email yesterday with all the results.

I’m hooked, it’s all so fascinating, I have already had a message from someone I share DNA with in Australia.

If anyone is thinking of doing this I highly recommend, the technology is so good, everything is well presented on the website and easy to understand.

As someone who is 75% Irish there is a lot to trawl through!
No big surprises yet other than a relation who is genetically linked to both sides of my family!
