The Ancestry DNA testing kit plus the Traits add-on helps people build their family tree and learn a great deal about who they are and where they came from. If you’ve ever wondered why you have very distinctively-shaped ears or when your great-great-grandfather went bald, this kit can tell you.

My grandmas have binders and books and software housing hundreds of family stories and origin documentation. They respect their ancestors and value their posterity. Family is everything to them. We hear stories about gold miners, homesteaders, pioneers, land owners, poverty, interesting marriages, etc.

The AncestryDNA test is a great way to get back to your roots. GUYs who value their family will find value in tracking down their heritage. 

Why we recommend it: Ancestry DNA makes some of the most popular DNA testing kits. The addition of the traits feature makes this one of the most unique gifts for GUYs.

• be sure you're sure about your parentage before gifting this DNA test - most GUYs don't want a Maurie Povich moment
• have multiple extended family members take a test
• people who have very little information on their roots can find additional information on ancestry websites
