Similar to BBC One's Who Do You Think You Are?, it follows celebrities who want to discover more about their family history, but with a couple of differences – each episode pairs up two celebrities to go on their DNA journey together, and they use DNA tests to start their journey.

Accuracy is very high when it comes to reading each of the hundreds of thousands of positions (or markers) in your DNA. With current technology, AncestryDNA ® has, on average, an accuracy rate of over 99 percent for each marker tested.

The cost of Ancestry is the cost of convenience. Ancestry has created their own name-searchable indexes (a rarity when working with original paper records), transcriptions, and databases at great man-hour expense (even offshoring this work is expensive at the volume they are dealing with).

With over 30 billion records from over 80 countries, Ancestry is an excellent resource for your family history research! There are several ways to locate records within Ancestry: Search all collections- Enter what you know about an ancestor, and Ancestry will show a list of records that may be related to that person.

Is AncestryDNA worth it? Yes. I highly recommend trying AncestryDNA, or any DNA testing company that provides autosomal DNA tests. There can be a ton of information to sift through depending on how many regions you get, but even if you don't want to dig into the data, it's neat to know where your family comes.

If you're using an autosomal test such as AncestryDNA, 23andMe, or MyHeritage, you'll generally go back 6 to 8 generations. Assuming 25 years per generation, you can expect 150-200 years of DNA information by taking an autosomal DNA test.

5 to 6 generations How Far Back Does The Autosomal DNA Test Trace? Companies like AncestryDNA, 23andMe, Living DNA, and Family Tree DNA offer autosomal DNA testing. This type of DNA test provides information about a wide range of ancestors going back up to 5 to 6 generations.

DNA Family Secrets The third series of DNA Family Secrets will be coming to BBC Two on Wednesday 27 September 2023. There will be six episodes altogether. The first two series of DNA Family Secrets were broadcast in 2021 and 2022.
