Impressive British Isles breakdown
I was really impressed with the breakdown they provided, especially because a lot of my ancestry is UK based. The results matched up really well with my paper trails and helped confirm a few things too. I am looking forward to more updates on other regional breakdowns and finding matches.

Taking your sample is fast and painless. No eating or drinking an hour before swabbing, except water. Simply swab the inner cheek of your mouth for 45-60 seconds and pop your swab back in the tube, pushing the lid down until it clicks.
