Here’s how to use it: Once you receive the test kit in the mail, use the included test vial to provide a saliva sample. Then send the DNA sample back to NatGeo and Helix DNA for sequencing. After a few weeks, you’ll then receive a detailed look at what makes you, you. You’ll also get access to a custom video that tells the story of your ancestry journey, which you can share with friends and family via the Geno 2.0 app for iPhone.

Who knows? You might discover you’re loosely related to George Washington, Amelia Earhart, or W. E. B. Du Bois. You might also learn you have a long-lost brother in Vietnam.

“I have wanted to try one of these DNA kits for quite some time. I knew very little about my family history and had always wondered what my ancestors were like. This kit totally surpassed all expectations in that regard. It’s absolutely amazing how much information they are able to share with you. They even tell you the famous people in history that you could be related to! Too cool. I cannot recommend this product enough to anyone interested in learning more about where you come from. Five stars all day.”
