Our exclusive, best-selling DNA Fingerprint Plus Test examines standard locations on your whole-genome DNA and gives you a comprehensive picture of your ancestry based on mother’s side, father’s side and all your ancestral lines. The time depth is historical, not ancient. The matches should make sense in the light of recent genealogy (200 - 500 years). The report lists your top 50 world populations (including a limited number of American Indian tribes, Sephardic, Ashkenazi and other Jewish matches, Romani/Gypsy and other exotic groups), top 10 countries of Europe and top 10 “megapopulations” mixture (broad ethnic categories such as Northern European, African and American Indian). Additionally, it tells you if your profile contains any of 18 newly discovered ethnic markers: 2 are Native American, 4 are Jewish, others are European, African and Asian. The process is easy. sends you a package with a collection kit and instructions. You collect a sample by rubbing two swabs inside your mouth and return them via a prepaid envelope. Your sample is analyzed according to 16 standard STR markers, also called CODIS markers, your individual DNA profile. Your comprehensive report with matches, world ancestry map and certificate is emailed to you in a pdf within two weeks of receipt of your sample by our lab. Hard copies, upgrades and follow-up testing available, along with open-ended customer service to answer all your questions, M-F 10am-6pm Mountain Time,

A disappointment - Updated
Very expensive and you get a long report that tells you nothing. Most of the links that are in the report for more information don't work. A huge disappointment for what I paid.So I spent 40 minutes on the phone with someone today that attempted to explain this report. The explanation was - We can't really tell you any thing specific. You need to ignore this since it is a false positive, or you need to pay attention to this number since it is a indicator. And I heard it is "scientific information" about 50 times. The report is so poorly written that no one outside their lab can understand it without having them go through it with you page by page. And even then, it really makes no sense.In my opinion, this was a total waste of over 500.00. I bought the test for both me and my wife so I paid a lot. Of course, no matter how dissatisfied you are with the report and the subsequent weak explanation, there are NO REFUNDS!!If I could give them negative stars I would.PS. Since the person I spoke to forgot to hang up the phone at the end of our conversation today, I got to hear the nasty comments she made when they thought I wasn't on the line any longer.

Mixed up content in report indicates poor quality control, no response from customer support.
I do not recommend this test. My wife and I did this test as a follow up to the Ancestry.com one that is also available here on Amazon. We wanted to see if the different services would return similar results, which is what would be expected. The reports generated are long and have a lot of interesting background information, and they present their results in three ways. First, a listing of the ethnic groups, in order of importance. Then they show them quantitatively in a table and chart of Relative Significance. Finally they write a short paragraph summarizing the results. In my case this all appeared somewhat in line with what came from the Ancestry.com test, but in my wife's case, the listing of ethnic groups and table of Relative Significance was predominately Asian with almost no European, but the summary was predominately European and no Asian at all. The summary was about what we expected from the Ancestry.com test, but clearly the listing of ethnic groups and table of Relative Significance came from someone else of Asian descent. I emailed the company to see if they could explain what happened, but never got a response.

Good company
It was great fun to enter into the genetic genealogy field and test my autosomal DNA. The results are very helpful in discovering who my ancestors were as a people group - not just their names. The whole process from ordering, collecting a sample, and receiving results was quick and easy. The support you get after you receive your results is also helpful and they will work with you one-on-one if you so desire. Good company and would recommend them to anyone. I especially like the privacy that comes with your results.

Excellent customer service, too...
I have always been curious about my ancestral background, so finally decided to do a DNA test. It was an easy process ordering the kit, it arrived in two days, and within ten days, I was sent the detailed results. It was fascinating to know just how complex my background is, as is the case for all of us -- for almost all of us are made up of ancestral backgrounds that are much more widespread than we may have thought, and if everyone was aware of this, I think it would do a great deal of good in the world, and would certainly serve to reduce the tendency to label others based on race that still pervades so much of the thinking and actions of people all over the world. Indeed, DNA testing may be one of the key pathways to reducing racism and healing our world, and so I certainly recommend it to everyone.

I gave this 3 stars instead of more only because I don't think they did a good job of letting your know that this is a very "scientific" result... great info and quick service, but the results were very technical and took some time and research to understand. Data could be presented in a more user friendly format

As it turned out the fault was mine as the instructions were clearly marked and easy to understand
I received my initial test kit and was unclear on what to do. I found their customer service people to be extremely helpful and caring.As it turned out the fault was mine as the instructions were clearly marked and easy to understand. So far so good!

Two Stars
Far too expensive a test for such broad results.
