| 1638816864640827400 | Does anyone know whether @ancestry has changed its packaging of DNA kits? Do they still provide the little cardboard box with the address to send in the DNA sample to the lab? @AncestryUK #Ancestry #DNA #genealogy #geneticgenealogy | 4 |
| 1641011996102471680 | Having @AncestryUK digitised registers online is great but note not all entries have been indexed.

| 1640111915262267399 | The oldest living member of my family, my Great Aunt Lil, is 96 today. She told me earlier that her uncle (my g-g-uncle) lived to 100y 7m. I went to add him to my @AncestryUK #familytree & found he’s already there, but with death age as 101. Now buying his death certificate! https://t.co/okz1kMYdnD | 3 |
