MakeStuffUp.Info has officially been out in the wild for a year. We’ve reached almost 1000 people.

So thank you for being on this journey with us from the very start.

Let’s get to this month’s latest resources!

Services such as 23andMe have gained such popularity in recent years that they have raised $82.5 million in early December 2020, even though layoffs have happened earlier in the year. In October 2012, Ancestry.com, another popular DNA testing company (who has been profitable since 1996!) was sold for $1.6 billion.
