Testimonials

"Best Purchase I Made! This test was easy to do and the best purchase I made for myself in a long time! There is nothing like being able to say that you ARE “African-American.” And you know where your people originate from. I highly recommend this test as its the gift that keeps on giving with knowledge of self and knowledge for your family.

- Tammy M.

"Totally Worth It! It’s a simple process from beginning to end. Although it takes time to get your results, they remain in communication with you periodically to let you know you are not forgotten. My results impacted me and my entire family. I am a Black Woman in America and I KNOW WHO I AM.

African Ancestry Patri Clan Kit

My Patri Clan Kit arrived on time. Instructions were easy to understand. The only thing I didn't like is that i was not able to add the kit to my Matri Clan account. Now I have to log into two different accounts to retrieve my results.

This feels Unreliable

I haven’t received my order still. I have checked with usps & they have no information on the tracking number that was given to me. I haven’t been able to track this order at all. Neither usps or this company has been able to tell me that status of my package( which is not cheap & should have better customer service & tracking status information). I ordered this product 3 weeks ago & I have no clue what is going on with my purchase, not even any emails from this company to confirm or ensures the safety of sensitive information, being this is a DNA test.
