From DNA Testing to Genealogical History

The journey from DNA testing to genealogical history transforms raw genetic data into ancestral stories by combining DNA matches and ethnicity estimates with genealogical traditional research. This process involves analyzing autosomal, Y-DNA, or mtDNA to find living relatives and verify or refute paper-trail pedigrees, creating a comprehensive, often surprising, family history.

Each 40 hour research is based on one surname. We will provide an estimate and require a 4-hour retaining non-refundable retaining fee.

Key Stages in the Journey

Sample Submission & Testing: A, saliva or cheek swab sample is analyzed to identify genetic markers, with over 30 million people tested as of 2019.

Identifying Matches: The system identifies living relatives in the database who share significant DNA, suggesting recent common ancestors.

Building the Tree: Genetic matches are combined with traditional, document-based research (census, birth/death records) to confirm relationships and map family lines. 

Types of Genealogical DNA Tests

Autosomal DNA: Traces all lines of ancestry (most common for finding matches within 5–7 generations).

Y-DNA: Traces the direct paternal line, useful for surname projects.

"The mobile DNA testing service was incredibly convenient. I couldn't believe how easy the process was! Now I know I am the father of my son."

Ron Sarah K.

"Thanks to AncestorTracer, I finally learned about my heritage. I had Breya research my ancestor slave roots to find the plantation owner, the probated will of the owner, Civil War records, census reports and property my ancestors bought. She did a good job getting that information and compiling it in a nice family heirloom book."

Lawra Emily R.

"AncestorTracer has done some extensive research trying to prove Oklahoma Chocktaw relatives for me. Even though the Dawes Rolls removed my ancestors, she did a very thorough research.."
