We destroy 100% of your DNA samples. We DO NOT sell or share your genetic information.

how it works?

We each carry in our DNA a series of indicators that provide information about our ancestry. This information is passed from generation to generation and can tell a profound story about where we come from, and highlight our connections to modern-day Africa.

Your DNA

Depending on the test you choose, we analyze either your maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), the paternally inherited Y chromosome for men, or the autosomal DNA inherited from both parents. Just a simple cheek swab is all it takes to get started.

Your Family Tree

The genetic information we extract remains consistent throughout every branch of your family tree, creating an unbroken connection through generations. Essentially, we uncover the unique fingerprint that you share with your ancestors, from parents and grandparents to great-grandparents and beyond, along a single lineage.

Your History

By employing groundbreaking genetic scientific techniques, we meticulously examine genetic markers and mutations to unveil the geographical origins of your ancestry. If your genetic makeup points to Africa, we cross-reference it with the extensive database of African lineages to pinpoint the modern-day African country and ethnic group with which you share maternal or paternal heritage.

What you get with this package

Anyone can take the MatriClan Test. Only those assigned male at birth can take the PatriClan Test. Your test kits include instructions, swabs and a postage-paid return envelope.

FAQs

Your DNA is completely confidential.

Very few, if any, African Americans are 100% African. During the period of slavery in the Americas, white men (slave traders, slave owners, etc.) often fathered children with enslaved women. Their offspring then had both African and European ancestry. This means that the descendants of the offspring will have a European branch in their family tree. There is an 8% chance that your maternal ancestry result will not be African. Read more about why here.
Paternal Ancestry Results

Yes, if you have Y-chromosome markers and a Y Haplogroup of A, B or E from another company, then your PatriClan Test result will be African. If it is not a Y Haplogroup of A, B or E, then do not take the PatriClan Test. If it is, please click here to submit an Analysis Only request.

Maternal Ancestry Results

Yes, if you have a mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequence and an mtDNA Haplogroup L from another company, then your MatriClan Test result will be African. If it is not Haplogroup L, then do not take the MatriClan Test. If it is, please click here to submit an Analysis Only request.

Admixture/Autosomal Results

No, we cannot use autosomal data from another company. However, please check your results to see if the company gave you an mtDNA haplogroup or Y chromosome haplogroup. We can provide better direction if you have that data. Contact us at info@africanancestry.com.

A Lasting Legacy For Your Whole Family

Your results apply to everyone who shares your maternal lineage.

Love my Results!!

Thank you! I'm super excited to share all this information with my family and feel empowered and proud to know exactly what tribes my grandparents are from. I wish they were still alive to experience the joy of knowing their heritage.

Life altering

Super happy I did this. As a Black man in this American world, identity is important. Non-Black groups can identify with a country easily but all I know is Mississippi, Tennessee, and Arkansas. I’m happy I took this test so I have knowledge of the unexplainable things I do that trace back to my tribe. I have the opportunity for citizenship and ownership of land in my home country. I can change the story of my family with this knowledge.

A little late, but excellent customer service

My results came quicker than expected, but some of the items in my package were a little late. However, when I contacted customer service, it was handled very quickly and efficiently. My items should be coming in the mail soon and overall, I am pleased with my results and the whole process.

Excited!

I think that the family celebration package is well worth the amount spent-and even though highly anticipated-well worth the wait! As I type this , my results to self are unknown. I await completion of myself by way of my father's DNA. And to African Ancestry leaders, staff, and everyone associated with this great company....I can"t thank you enough for the work you are doing on behalf of US. Thank you.
