Genealogical DNA Testing Companies and Current DNA Sales March 22, 2020 Includes Several St. Patrick DNA Sales

Over 1,300 words. If you are interested in a specific company, scroll down to it and see its current price.

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.

Current sales – will update with a new post in several days: MyHeritageDNA (Health+Ethnicity $99 sale  DNAFit sale – up to 30%; Sequencing sale; FindMyPastDNA $79 sale; LivingDNA sale up to 20% off; Vitagene up to 20% off.

Update to the last post Genealogical DNA Testing Companies and Current DNA Sales March 7, 2020 Includes Several St. Patrick DNA Sales. As of today, WeGene has not started selling $99.00 DNA kits. I check every few days since at some point I expect to see them offering this price.
