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.
I and my whole family were excited about to get the results. We couldn't be happier with the services of African Ancestry.
I was ecstatic to find out not only the country associated with my lineage but the tribe as well. There will be a trip in the near future!!
I appreciate the service and my results.
Love results
More attention and time was given by scientists to my patrilineal results, since my sequence has come back as unique. To my surprise and probably to the scientists themselves (considering my reported heritage) it confirms an old family story I never believed.
