Have you ever been asked, “where are you from?” And your first instinct was to tell someone your childhood hometown, even though you knew they meant, “what ethnicity are you?” Maybe your parents have passed down stories for years about how your grandparents or great-grandparents grew up in Italy and traveled here for the American Dream. Or maybe your parents didn’t really know what their own parents and grandparents got up to before they were born. Everyone does wonder about their own lineage.

That’s why companies like 23andMe exist – to give you a better sense of where your family came from and what you’re made up of. Getting the results back from 23andMe might not change who you are as a person, but they sure can be interesting. You might think that your family is from Ireland and that’s it, but you can be surprised with Polish and Scottish results on a test.

23andMe’s motto is:

You are made of cells. And the cells in your body have 23 pairs of chromosomes. Your chromosomes are made of DNA, which can tell you a lot about you. Explore your 23 pairs today.

If you’ve always wanted to take a test but couldn’t rationalize spending $100 on an ancestry test, you’re in luck. Currently, on 23andMe’s website and Amazon, the test is $30 off, making it $69. There’s an even better deal though if you wanted to take the test yourself and wanted to gift one to a friend or a family member. If you buy two kits, they are $49 each, meaning you’d save a total of $100.

23andMe is an easy-to-use kit that can be done at home. You will get a specimen bag, a funnel lid, a saliva collection tube, a tube cap, and a tube container, along with step-by-step instructions. You don’t want to mess up how you spit in a tube!

After you mail back your saliva sample, it will take about six to eight weeks for your personalized ancestry report to come back. 23andMe delivers results from 150+ ancestry regions worldwide, breaking things down to the 0.1% when developing reports. Not only will you get to know about your ancestral regions with a test, but the company also can trace the migration with just one DNA test.

Snag this deal right now on Amazon and you’ll be taking your DNA test in just two days!
