    types of tests

    We offer two premium DNA tests. A high resolution mtDNA test that looks at the mitochondria that we receive from our mothers is available for all test takers. Exclusively for males we offer a Y DNA test that looks at the male inherited Y chromosome (Y/CS). We also are able to provide a genealogy for the specific lineage that you are testing provided you supply us names of your most distant ancestor and we'll comb existing records to extend your genealogy back further in time.learn more
