Note: Only biological men can take the PatriClan test. Women who want to trace their paternal lineage must use DNA from a male relative on their paternal line. Please see the policy here.
The PatriClan Test will reveal the African country of origin and ethnic group (tribe) that you share paternal ancestry with during the past 500 - 2,000 years.* This test will not provide percentages of different regions.
Your DNA is destroyed. We DO NOT sell or share your genetic information.
Our test kits include everything you need to submit your sample, track its progress online, digital results and complete destruction of your DNA.
Your PatriClan Experience includes:
* Your paternal ancestry may not be African, despite your father's skin color or whatever percentages you may have from another company. We cannot guarantee your result will be African. THERE IS A 35% CHANCE THAT YOUR RESULT WILL BE NON-AFRICAN. If your result is not African, we will identify whether it is European, Asian, Middle Eastern or Indigenous American but you will not receive a country or a group.
* NO REFUNDS for Non-African results.
* International customers are responsible for return postage for swabs.
At first I was hesitant, mainly about the price. But you can’t really put a price on something that was stolen from you and your ancestors. I wish you where around sooner. I would have done this first, instead of Ancestry.
Who knew that I was from Gabon?! I never ever thought I’d find this out. I took another test where it put me all over Africa and no specific country. My fathers side came to a 100% match for three tribes of Tsogo, Ateke, and Kota in Gabon. So incredible to know where your history is from. I look forward to finding out more.
While I have not yet had the pleasure to receive my results and had to resend my sample I am excited and highly anxious to get my hands on my results great process.
This was one of the best investments that I’ve made. It’s given my family & I a feeling of connection and a sense of belonging. Thank you African Ancestry!
The test kit was well put together arrived in a timely manner and the result was more accurate than it’s competitors.
