Post date: Apr 21, 2016 8:58:14 PM

If you haven't already done so, now is a good time to do DNA testing! If you already have had your DNA tested, have your parents tested, your aunts and uncles, your cousins! With autosomal DNA testing, it is important to test as many people as possible.

Both FTDNA (Family Tree DNA) and AncestryDNA have announced sales honoring DNA day (25 April).

Both companies are offering 20% discounts on their respective autosomal DNA test, marking down prices from $99 to only $79. FTDNA's autosomal DNA test is known as Family Finder, while Ancestry's is known simply as AncestryDNA. If you are considering which one to choose, it is recommended that you do your autosomal DNA test with AncestryDNA for $79, and then add your DNA to FTDNA's Family Finder by doing an "autosomal transfer) for only $39. This way, you get your DNA on both sites for only $118 instead of $198.

FTDNA also offers Y-DNA and mtDNA testing, which AncestryDNA does not offer. The sale prices for these products are listed below:

FTDNA's mtDNA Plus test is not currently on sale.
