DNA testing
« on: Tuesday 11 November 25 21:50 GMT (UK) »
How does the system work - If I send for the kit and then return it with the sample - how does it get on to the data bank ?
If a match is found how are we put in touch with each other?
is there an on-going charge to keep my details on the data base?
Thanks.

Zet ,  there are many really helpful films on YouTube that will answer the whole story. The Ancestry and My heritage websites will also answer your basic questions.
