Thanks Jessalynn.

Andy, I took both. And I also bought the extra "markers" (2 more packages) for more in-depth analysis of "clans" and haplogroups to which I belong.

Based on my specific haplogroup (R1b) and DNA markers and mutations, I was able to trace my ancestry through Europe.

According to my Haplogroup's map:

"When the ice sheets retracted at the end of the ice age, descendents of the R1b lineage migrated throughout western Europe. Today, Haplogroup R1b is found predominantly in western Europe, including England, Ireland, and parts of Spain and Portugal.

"It is especially concentrated in the west of Ireland where it can approach 100% of the population.

"This haplogroup contains the well known Atlantic Modal STR Haplotype (AMH). AMH is the most frequently occurring haplotype amongst human males with an Atlantic European ancestry. It is also the haplotype of Niall of the Nine Hostages, an Irish King in the Dark Ages who is the common ancestor of many people of Irish patrilineal descent."
