DNA testing purchase
DNA testing purchase
PriceThe website is quite pricey, but it does offer Y-DNA and mtDNA testing. It's a bit slow and not very easy to get around, so it could definitely use some upgrades to make it more user-friendly. However, I found that my autosomal ethnicity results were pretty spot-on and matched up well with my family tree. I also really liked the family tree layout and being able to see other people's family trees that have been publicly shared. It's a nice added bonus!
