What company is about:
Ancestry.com has launched a new service called DNA Ancestry that looks to combine science with the company’s online database of family trees.
How It works:
The service allows users to submit a DNA sample to Ancnestry.com, who will then analyze and compare it to results in their genetic database. The hope is that this can lead to users discovering more relatives, or, once and for all proving that their crazy second cousin isn’t actually related.
The site will soon start adding DNA results to existing family trees, making it possible to find other relatives down the road as more people submit tests. Another interesting twist is that by the end of the year, DNA Ancestry will offer a “Groups” feature so people with similar characteristics such as the same last name can get together and determine how they are related, if at all.
All of this genetic fun isn’t free – tests cost between $149 and $199. Nonetheless, it’s an interesting combination of science and social networking that could yield some fascinating results for people that want to explore their ancestry.
