Genealogical DNA Testing Companies and Current DNA Sales November 29, 2019

Over 1,000 words. If you are interested in a specific company, scroll down to it and see its current price.

Updated November 30, 2019 to remove Sticky as new post with current prices will be up shortly.

Latest update as of November 29, 2019 – FamilyTree DNA (FTDNA) is now $49.00. Will check again tomorrow as some of the sales are supposed to end today.

Update to yesterday’s post, probably won’t do an update tomorrow unless I see announcements for Black Friday Sales show up early – Genealogical DNA Testing Companies and Current DNA Sales November 25, 2019. FindMyPast has lowered its price from $89 to $65. This is in addition to price drops mentioned yesterday – Black Friday Sales Start Early – worth checking daily between now and December 2, 2019 – MyHeritageDNA $39 sale price (regular price $79), Health $79, regular price $199. Dante Labs has a great sale price (link keeps going down). May also want to check the Current November 2019 DNA Prices link below for other companies.

Making it Sticky for now as it includes the major DNA companies (23andMe, AncestryDNA, FamilyTree DNA (FTDNA), FindMyPastDNA, LivingDNA, MyHeritageDNA, Geno 2.0 Next until it is no longer available, Helix, and a few others, but will include some other DNA companies that are not considered major genealogical DNA companies), most of which aren’t having sales right now. Will replace when a new sale shows up. Monthly DNA price list for October – Current November 2019 DNA Prices November 1, 2019. That will cover many of the lesser known DNA companies. Amazon often has great deals for some of the DNA companies around Black Friday/Cyber Monday.

As always, check prices before you order! You can also check EBay and Amazon in case you find a lower price there, but make sure it’s for the same company and test. Some of the companies show an end date for their sale prices, but many don’t. Amazon loves to raise and lower prices on DNA tests on a somewhat regular basis, usually every few days for some of the major companies, bit less often for other companies. For EBay and Amazon purchases, always activate the test as soon as you get it to avoid problems.
