My readers may be interested in the following website, which allows you to upload your autosomal DNA from any testing website and obtain an initially free analysis of how your DNA matches those of ancient tribal peoples. It will also show you your closest ancient 'matches'. For people like me, this is far more interesting than discovering some living 4th cousin, 3 times removed or the rather inaccurate autosmal analysis regarding modern nations that is often the case with DNA companies, who struggle to discern the difference between German and English DNA! This analysis goes beyond the artificial constructs of 'nations' and identifies with precision, the tribes which you are descended from.
The free analysis will only remain on your account for just over two days unless you pay a nominal fee for the data to be retained. You have the option to choose from 13 levels of membership, so the more you pay, the more detail and the more ancient matches you will receive. What you have already paid will count towards any future upgrades, making this a cost effective way of researching your Copper Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age, Dark Age and mediaeval tribal make up.

Another particularly interesting feature is an analysis of your descent from various Y-DNA haplogroups, not just your own direct paternal line.
