The National Geographic Genographic Project

Some of you may have heard about the National Geographic Genographic Project on T.V. The project has you submit your DNA via cheek swab for analysis, and the results will show which genetic markers exist in your DNA. From the site:

Your results will reveal your deep ancestry along a single line of direct descent (paternal or maternal) and show the migration paths they followed thousands of years ago. Your results will also place you on a particular branch of the human family tree. Some anthropological stories are more detailed than others, depending upon the lineage you belong to. For example, if you are of African descent, your results will show the initial movements of your ancestors on the African continent, but will not reflect most of the migrations that have occurred within the past 10,000 years. Your individual results may confirm your expectations of what you believe your deep ancestry to be, or you may be surprised to learn a new story about your genetic background.

The cost is only $99. If you’re into this kind of stuff I’d definitely look into it.
