FTDNA, no Prime Day price, but it gives me a 37% coupon to click which brings the price from $79 down to $50

If you’re unsure which test to get, I always say that AncestryDNA is the best bet for your money. Once you get your results from them, you can transfer your DNA data to FTDNA for free. You can also transfer your results to DNA.land, Geni, Wikitree, MyHeritage, and Gedmatch for FREE. So right now you can pay $49 for the Ancestry test, then free to upload instead of paying for each place (of the ones that offer testing) individually. You cannot upload your data (from anywhere) to 23andMe, so if you also wanted to test with them it would be an additional cost. Oh and use eBates/Rakuten whenever you can to get money back for more savings. https://www.rakuten.com/r/JULIES198?eeid=28187.

New… sorta

Something happened with my hosting and my site was deleted. I was able to reinstall WordPress and all of my posts, but some of the photos/graphics I had inserted are gone. And the entire gallery has to be redone. You can still click the link for it in the menu to the right, but there are no pictures currently loaded.
