The blog Creative Gene breaks down just how much it'll cost you to start compiling your genealogical history.

Unless you've got money to burn and/or friends in high places (or friends who happen to be geneticists and might lend their interpretive knowledge in exchange for dinner), tracing your genealogical roots "isn't exactly a poor man's hobby," she writes.
