(Announcement cross posted to Azores, Madeira, and IslandRoutes lists)

Family Tree DNA (FTDNA) has announced their Holiday Sale, which is running through Monday, Jan. 4, 2021 at 1:59 pm CST (or GMT-6). Add $9.95 USD for shipping and handling (U.S. residents have a pre-paid postage return). The sale prices are mostly the same. See the chart below.

If you are brand new to DNA testing and have never tested before, the different types of tests can be overwhelming. If you have no specific goal or brickwall (pai incognito) to break down, then start with Family Finder, on sale for $59 USD (+ S&H). If you have a brickwall and you are not sure which DNA test will help you, then ask before ordering.

If you are a returning customer and would like a different type of test for yourself (or for that particular test taker), log into their kit and order from that particular kit (no S&H fee either)!

If you are ordering a test for someone who has never tested before, (or if you have never tested) then you will follow the links below.
