How is the DNA sample
taken?
You can collect your own DNA sample. Taking the
sample simply involves wiping a swab inside your mouth. The swab is
like a large cotton bud (Q-Tip) and does not hurt you.
Procedure:
1). Rub a clean (sterile if possible) cotton
tip/swab/budon inside of cheek until moist.
2).
Press hard against the inside of your cheek using both ends of the
cotton swab.
3). Place cotton swab in a paper envelope and seal.
4). Label with permanent pen - your name, complete address (postal
and/or e-mail), sample date and your Eustace/Eustice/Eustis
ancestor’s country of origin (if you know it).
