Upon ordering a collection Kit via the web or by phone, your name and contact information is cataloged in our Surname database. If you submit two samples (one for you and one for a presumed relative), we will inform you in a few weeks whether the two genetic samples have yielded a genetic match. More info...

Your genetic information is added to our secure, private and confidential database. As others test, you will be informed of any person who matches you so that you can contact them, if you desire. For more about confidentiality and privacy of your records, see the FAQ or the section entitled Privacy Policy.

  • For men or women.
  • Autosomal DNA test.***
  • Matches are related within about the last 5 generations.*
  • Provides percentages of your ancestral make-up (Native-American, Middle Eastern (including Jewish), African, West and East European)**
  • Recommended for genealogists.
  • Includes matches with predicted relationship ranges.
  • Great for confirming close relationships regardless of gender.
* We are leading the way in the development of innovative genealogical uses for autosomal DNA. You will be matched with others who have also taken the Family Finder test. However, if you come from an under-represented population, it is possible you will not find matches right away. Your matches largely depend on how your DNA compares to our database. As our database is constantly growing, you may have matches over time, and we will send you e-mail notifications about any new matches.

** Due to the nature of autosomal DNA, the test does not specify from which branch of your family tree your matches or the percentages of your geographic heritage derive.

*** This test uses the most advanced technology. From our experience, with a good-quality customer swab, 99.5% of all Family Finder tests are processed on the first attempt. If your sample falls in the less than 0.5% of all Family Finder tests that we run, we will attempt the test a second time, from a separate extraction to obtain results that satisfy our high quality control standards. After two failed attempts to yield clear results, you will have the following options: pay $150 for us to attempt the test again, receive a refund of the price you paid minus $150, or receive a credit for the difference towards another test of your choice. If you choose to pay the $150 retesting fee, you will be required to submit a fresh sample.
