The Family Package allows you and the family to trace your maternal AND paternal roots from 500-2,000 years ago with a simple cheek swab. Only biological men can take the PatriClan test. A woman wanting to trace their paternal lineage must use DNA from a male relative on their paternal line.

The Family Package includes both test kits, six personalized Certificates Of Ancestry and six country of origin tees. ** T-shirts will reflect your choice of your country of ancestry, if available. Otherwise, package will include "African Ancestry" Tees. After receiving your results, you will receive a form to select your t-shirt countries and sizes and certificate names.

African Ancestry is the only genetic ancestry company that puts your identity, safety and privacy first. We destroy 100% of your DNA samples. We DO NOT sell or share your genetic information.

No refunds will be given once swabs are received at the lab. International customers are responsible for the postage to return swabs to us. International orders will be responsible for shipping costs of t-shirts and certificates.

A Lasting Legacy For The Whole Family

Your results apply to everyone who shares the same lineage.

 

Your DNA is completely confidential.

Why might you receive a result that is not African?

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.

Can I send results from another company's test for analysis?

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.
