The big news this week for anyone with British ancestry is the announcement that AncestryDNA is now available in the UK and Ireland – click on the image for Ancestry UK's blog posting and see Here for the press announcement, as reported by Chris Paton on The British GENES blog. With Ancestry's marketing power and brand-recognition, this is likely to provide a huge boost in the number of Brits in the DNA databases, which will be very welcome for anyone with British ancestry (whether they know it or not) and should make it a lot easier for many of us to make genealogical connections through DNA testing.
