The Cartellones had a proud Italian ancestry, mainly from Joe’s side of the family. Rebecca, 24, had researched her ancestors before. She was curious about how much Italian was in her blood.

The Cartellones bought their kit from Ancestry.com, but most work the same way. They require a person’s DNA sample, usually in the form of saliva through a spit test tube or cheek swab.

The results are then sent to a database that logs a person’s DNA and connects them to others.

Ancestry kits are famous (or perhaps notorious) for revealing new relatives. When a person’s DNA matches another person in the database, the ancestry explains how they are related.

Many people have discovered long-lost relatives through DNA tests. For parents and children, the results reveal which parts of the child come from which parent.
