At-home DNA testing kits are surging in popularity, offering users the chance to discover new relatives, build family trees, and uncover historical records and ancient origins. MyHeritage, one of the leading services, has slashed the price of its DNA kit to a record low of $39, down from the usual $159.
The kit requires only a simple mouth swab to reveal family history. MyHeritage boasts access to 39.6 billion historical records and a strong database, particularly in Europe. Users can order a kit, send in their sample, and receive results via email and app.
Millions of users worldwide describe the genealogy company as “impressive.” One shopper noted, “I can honestly say my DNA results from MyHeritage have been life-changing. I discovered close family I didn’t even know existed on another continent.”
The reduced price is seen as a game-changer, making DNA testing more accessible. MyHeritage analyzes DNA to trace ancestry across 2,114 regions, providing an ethnicity breakdown and descent groups. Users can also search billions of records, including birth and marriage certificates.
Once an account is created, the platform automatically searches for matches and relevant records. The family tree can be updated across desktop, phone, and tablet. The $39 price is available for a limited time.
