MyHeritage DNA

I ordered a new DNA kit, looking forward to seeing how it can hopefully link up my family tree automatically and show some updated ancestral origin information, as my last test was many years ago and the technology has improved since. Depending on how successful the results are I will then move onto ordering one for Laci, I figure the Hungarian ancestry is less documented so don't like my chances.

UPDATE: Well I ordered the test almost a month ago, and the initial test hasn't even arrived in the mail yet, so it's going to take a very long time to get the results unfortunately.
