Has anyone here had any experience testing with Oxford Ancestors Ltd. in the United

Nope. I'm waiting to see when the Ancestry DNA test is rolled out here
in UK since their prices might well be very competitive. At the moment
I understand that they are initially only inviting a few (by Ancestry
standards - that's probably several hundred thousand!). I put my name
down a couple of weeks ago but haven't heard anything yet.
Ancestry took over Sorenson's database - Sorenson was one of the three
"biggies" in genealogical (as opposed to medical or forensic) DNA
testing. The other two are 23andme and Family Tree DNA.
I've been following The Genetic Genealogist blog recently and the
reference to the Ancestry test is at:

Hope this helps - and that I'm not trying to "teach Granny to suck
eggs".
