DNA Discovery - Autosomal

DNA Discovery – Autosomal

Understand what your autosomal DNA results actually show about your recent ancestry.

This package is for anyone who has already tested with Ancestry, MyHeritage, 23andMe, FamilyTreeDNA Family Finder or an equivalent company. We review your matches and shared matches, explain in plain language what the DNA evidence suggests in relation to your research question, and provide a written report with practical recommendations.

What you receive

  • Review of your autosomal results and key matches
  • Identification of the most useful matches and any clear shared-match clusters
  • A written report explaining what the evidence indicates for recent ancestry (roughly the last 5–8 generations)
  • Clear next-step recommendations

Please note
Complex unknown-parentage or adoption cases are normally handled as custom research rather than under this fixed package. Autosomal DNA can sometimes reveal unexpected relationships; these are handled carefully and without judgement.

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