The Process

Choose from our MatriClan, PatriClan or Family Package test kits. Your kit will arrive within 10 business days. Priority shipping is available. Be sure to Activate Your Kit via your private online portal here.

Swab your inner cheek to collect your DNA sample and drop it back in the mail to us using the postage-paid return envelope. It's quick, easy, and painless—and you can track the status of your test kit online

We'll extract your DNA and analyze it against the world's largest database of African DNA to determine your ancestry. This process takes approximately 8-12 weeks. Once your results are ready, you can access them through your account.

Now that you know where you're from, you can study the people and the country, travel, adopt a new name, or incorporate new traditions into your family. Then, you can engage other family members to take an African Ancestry test and learn about more of your roots.
