Want to find out more about your deep ancestors? Participate in National Geographic's The Genographic Project.
They are looking for contributors for the project. For $99.95, they will send you a kit that includes a swab kit to sample your genetics from the inside of your cheek. You then send that in, and in 4-6 weeks you can access your information stored simply by kit number, not by your name. This appears to be very private.
I wonder how this project would handle a mutt like me. I have European, Jewish, and Native American accesotors. That's going to be one messy map.
