Find your specific connection to your roots.
Not to a series of West African REGIONS. But to an ethnic group ("tribe") with specific beliefs, traditions, values and practices.
Find your African country of origin and tribe (ethnic group) on one branch of family tree, your father’s father's line.
A simple cheek swab will reveal your father’s paternal roots from the past 500 - 2,000 years.
We cannot guarantee that your result will be African.
The test analyzes the Y chromosome that men inherit exclusively from their fathers. Women CANNOT take the PatriClan Test. Women must trace their paternal lineage by having a male relative from their father’s side take the test.
Share your result with the family. It will be the same for your father, grandfather, children, siblings, brother’s children, paternal aunts and uncles, etc. See which family members share your paternal results.

Only men can take this test, but women can have a male relative take the test for them.

65% of PatriClan results are African. If your result is not African, we will determine whether your paternal ancestry is European, Asian, Middle Eastern or Indigenous American.
