Ancestry Tests

If you would like to discover the history of your family dating back thousands of years, then GTLDNA is able to offer you a range of DNA ancestry testing services. Through a simple DNA sample you will be able to trace the history of your ancestors and the area of the globe they originated from, as well as obtaining a record of their movements throughout the ages.

There are various reasons to perform this test:

• To increase your knowledge about the origins of your ancestors and their history dating back to thousands of years, for you and your children.
• Need to know: for persons that have very limited or no information at all about their relatives, such as in the cases of adoption.
• As a scientific tool: to confirm or clarify information obtained through genealogy research.

As a gift: tracing their ancestry can be an unusual and fascinating gift to friends, relatives and loved ones.

• Lineage DNA Testing: Find out the geographic origins of your direct ancestors. Through our Lineage DNA tests shown below, you can trace lineages from both your maternal and paternal side individually or together.
• Maternal Lineage (mtDNA) Testing: You can trace your maternal lineage to determine what your ancient maternal ancestors’ most likely migration route would have been and the haplogroup they belonged to.

• Paternal Lineage DNA Testing: You can trace your paternal lineage to determine what your ancient paternal ancestors’ most likely migration route would have been and the haplogroup they belonged to.
