I have not used the kit, but I have read 'Blood of the Isles' by Brian Sykes, published in 2006 in which the results of DNA testing are described, and there are maps of the 'clans' both male and female showing the frequency across Britain.
Somewhere I have world maps showing the migration routes of the male and female DNA.
There was a website www.bloodoftheisles.net - I do not know if it is still there - but that was quite interesting.
What is quite fun are the anomalies which the reserch has uncovered, where the inheritance belies the accepted history of a place - some 'we came and conquered this place' stories do not match with the inherited DNA in that place at all.
