DNA Ancestry Testing $119

DNA Y-DNA STR Marker Profile TestingHow did we end up where we are today? DNA studies have shown that people shared a common ancestor who lived in Africa between 50,000 to 200,000 years ago. As our ancestors migrated out of Africa into the rest of the world, small changes called mutations occurred in their DNA. As generations passed, each mutation links our ancestor to a specific time and place in history. The mutations that we find in our own DNA tell the story of our own ancestral past.

Genetic genealogy allows us to trace the path of our ancestors and find out who they were, where they lived and how they have migrated throughout the world. Order a participation kit and begin a journey of discover to trace your deep ancestral origins and pursue the origins of your surname. Login to your control panel to use Genebase tools and view the progress of your projects, conduct your own searches, and generate professional research reports.

What is the difference between Private and Legal Tests?

The private test is intended for individuals who need to know the truth about a relationship in private before deciding on the next step to take. If the private test is chosen, a home swab kit is sent directly to the parties involved so that the samples can be collected quickly and discreetly in the privacy of your own home.

The legal test is intended for individuals who need to use the results in court. As a mandatory requirement of the legal test, the sample collection must be performed and witnessed by an unbiased third party who has no interest in the outcome of the test using a strict chain-of-custody collection procedure. Clients can choose to arrange their own witnessing and collection can use the legal version of our Home kit, or they can choose to have us arrange for professional sample collection and witnessing at one of our hundreds of legal collection facilities in the United States and Canada.

Both the legal and the private tests are equally accurate. The only difference is whether the sample collection is witnessed or collected in private. Please rest assured, that regardless of which test type you choose, you will receive the highest quality DNA test with absolute accuracy.

Professional Collection and Witnessing Services

For legal testing, the sample collection must be performed and witnessed by an unbiased third party who has no interest in the outcome of the test using a strict chain-of-custody collection procedure (such as a physician, notary or lawyer). Clients can choose to arrange their own witnessing, or they can choose to have us arrange professional sample collection and witnessing at one of our hundreds of legal collection facilities located throughout the United States and Canada. The cost for Professional Collection and Witnessing is $50 per person (Fees may be higher in remote areas and Alaska or Hawaii). If you would like us to arrange collection and witnessing for you, please choose the Professional Collection and Witnessing Services option.
