It is a very exciting time in the world of family research (aka genealogy) and DNA testing. Over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, Ancestry sold over 1.7 million AncestryDNA tests. Of course, this will mean longer processing times as these kits start rolling in to the lab, but the wait is worth it. With Ancestry’s current database of over 6 million testers, this is by far the largest database available for those seeking to use DNA to confirm family relationships, knock down research brick walls, or find biological family.
