African Ancestry Family Reunions^®in Sierra Leone

April 19 - May 2, 2023

(subject to change)

This is our 5th African Ancestry Family Reunion to Sierra Leone.

The journey kicks off in Washington, DC with a meet and greet with the Ambassador of Sierra Leone to the U.S. before our flight to Freetown, Sierra Leone. Upon arrival after airport formalities, we travel to Freetown on a short 30 minute boatride. Once in-country, we will engage in many different cultural and heritage activities in the capital city of Freetown as well as visit the Mende and Temne in the provinces for our renaming ceremonies. The Monuments and Relics Commission under the auspices of the Ministry of Tourism will conduct a mandatory Citizenship Engagement Workshop for all perspective citizens and lead you through the required steps for citizenship.

We have planned sacred ceremonies based on your ethnic group, an African Ancestry Reveal to welcome new family members, a community service project for us to honor the African concept of reciprocity, and of course, there will be good food, shopping, nightlife as well as time to relax and restore.

Certificate

I am very pleased with certificates. My family have been very happy to also have certicates with their ancestors birthplace history being located in Sierra Leone and the tribe Temne. Thank you so much

Still waiting for results

Mailed swabs 9 days ago, but have not heard any replies announcing a receipt and there does not appear to be anyway to track package on your website. I made a mistake for not jotting down the tracking number that was given.

Happy to receive it.

I was so excited when I received my certificate. It was cool to see where my material ancestors were from in Cameroon. Next, I want to do my paternal side. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Waste of Money

I could not track my package using this feature. It NEVER showed it being shipped. I had no idea where in transit it was.

PatriClan Test Kit

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.
