HAVE you ever wondered where your ancestors came from?

As part of a new TV series, DNA Cymru,people in Llanelli are being given the chance to trace their geneticroots.

The team will be at Parc y Scarlets on Saturday ahead of the Ospreys clash offering more information about the project and giving people the chance to win a freeAncestral DNA testing kit.

Series producer Angela Graham of Green Bay Media explains, We are attempting an unprecedented mass survey of Welsh DNA to throw light on movements of population in the past and find answers to some historical puzzles.

Two of S4Cs DNA Cymrupresenters, Beti George and Dr Anwen Jones, will be at Parc y Scarlets to help explain some of the questions through the testing of ancestral DNA.

The series, which airs on S4C onMarch 1,presents the journey of humanity from its origins in Africa to the earliest populations of the land we now know as Wales, right up the inhabitants of todays Wales.

In the series, presenters Beti George, Dr Anwen Jones and Jason Mohammad will be explaining how the science of DNA can reveal genetic blueprints that stretch back beyond recorded history.

This exciting project is a partnership between S4C, CymruDNAWales, Trinity Mirror - publishers of the Western Mail and the Daily Post and production company Green Bay Media.
