Exploring Your Genetic Roots
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
We analyze the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) that you inherited from your mother. A simple swab from inside your cheek is all we need to begin the process.
Our Process
Our African Lineage Database™ contains over 30,000 DNA signatures from more than 400 African ethnic groups. We compare your DNA to this database to find your unique African origin.
