Our past is more than just words, it is a source of strength.

Using the power of DNA and the most comprehensive database of indigenous African genetic sequences in existence, African Ancestry is the ONLY company that can trace your ancestry back to a specific present-day African country and ethnic group of origin dating back more than 500 years ago. If the results are from another continent, that information will be provided.

"I just want to say thank you African Ancestry for helping me to find my past. Knowing my past has given me peace. Now I can say that I am both Mbensele of Cameroon and Native American. I can pass this knowledge to my daughter, again thank you African Ancestry!"
