DNA Advisory Service

DNA Advisory Service

Not sure where to start with DNA? Or do your results raise more questions than answers?

Our DNA Advisory Service gives you clear, practical guidance on any type of DNA test (autosomal, Y-DNA or mtDNA). We review your research goal and existing results (or advise if you have not yet tested), explain what the DNA can and cannot show, and recommend realistic next steps.

What you receive

  • A written summary of advice, normally within 10 working days
  • Clear recommendations on whether further testing or one of our Discovery packages would help

This service is suitable if you

  • Are new to DNA testing
  • Have results but are unsure what they mean
  • Want to know whether DNA is likely to help with your particular question

This is an advice and signposting service. It does not include full analysis of matches or historical research.

All Discovery packages require you to already have results from a commercial testing company.
