The container on the lower right contains a tube with a little funnel on top. You simply spit in the tube then pour in a preservative (supplied) and it is ready to ship off. The collection bag shown on the lower left receives the tube and then they are both placed in the shipping package shown at the top. It is necessary to activate the program by going on to the Ancestry.com site. You have to report the registration number that is located on the spit bottle. Package is prepaid so all you have to do is pop it in the mail. I have included the instructions which are simple and easy to follow.
Anxious to hear the results

Hi Rita. My mother was born in Melrose, Scotland and my father in Belfast, Ireland. However genealogy has taught me that my father’ father and even further back were also from Scotland so I am curious if the DNA confirms that and also tells me more. I will keep you posted. Glenn

I had not heard of this before, though I have been part of Ancestry for some time. Why is it necessary?

Just noticed these comments. DNA gives us some good clues as to where our family members came from. You might be surprised to find out a lot of your ancestors were Vikings which will help to explain why you like to travel and bring things home. (smiling)

I was born in Scotland and moved here in my 20’s, but I did find some relatives in Canada through doing some family tree work in Ancestry.

Just got my DNA and I am 44% Scottish and 29% Irish. That fits, three of my grand parents were Scottish and one grandmother was Irish. I am going to be blogging on that soon.
