“We have been debating for years on whether or not to have a DNA test done. Because our family history was not handed down. Therefore, we always wonder where we originated from. But, my family was always afraid of a company having our DNA. Then you came to our church and did the presentation stating that you will destroy our genetic material. It was icing on the cake. Privacy is everything! I knew right then that your company was the one I was looking for to answer the origination question.”

We destroy 100% of your DNA samples. We DO NOT sell or share your genetic information.
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
Depending on which test you purchase, we analyze either the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) that you inherited from your mother or the Y chromosome that people assigned male or intersex at birth inherit from their father. A simple swab from inside your cheek is all we need to begin the process.
Your Family Tree
The genetic information we extract remains consistent throughout every branch of your family tree, creating an unbroken connection that spans generations. Essentially, we unveil the unique imprint that you share with your ancestors, tracing back from parents and grandparents to great-grandparents and beyond, along a single lineage.
Your History
By harnessing groundbreaking genetic scientific methods, we delve deep into the secrets of your ancestry. Our meticulous search for markers and mutations reveals the precise origins of your lineage across the globe. If Africa emerges from your genetic makeup, we embark on a thrilling journey, comparing your genes to the vast repository of African lineages. The result? We unveil the present-day African country and ethnic group with whom you share a remarkable maternal or paternal heritage.
