What is ancestry DNA testing and what will it tell me?
Ancestry DNA testing analyzes your genetic makeup to identify your ethnic origins and potential geographic regions of ancestry. It can help you discover where your ancestors came from and possibly connect you with genetic relatives.
-
Is an ancestry test the same as the popular consumer ancestry kits (like 23andMe or AncestryDNA)?
No. Our lab-based ancestry tests are processed in a certified diagnostic lab, which provides more comprehensive raw data and detailed ancestry breakdowns—not consumer-grade estimates.
-
Can this test be used to add the father's name to the birth certificate?
Yes. Court-admissible paternity test results are accepted by most family courts and state agencies for adding or removing a father from a birth certificate.
-
When is a legal paternity test required?
Legal paternity testing is typically needed for child support, custody, birth certificate changes, immigration cases, inheritance disputes, or other court proceedings.

What documents are needed for a legal paternity test?
Each participant will need a valid, government-issued photo ID. For minors, a legal guardian’s consent and the child’s birth certificate are usually required.

-
What type of sample is required for an infidelity test?
We test various types of personal items that may contain bodily fluids (e.g., saliva, semen). The more recent and unwashed the item, the better the chances of obtaining viable DNA.

Will an infidelity test tell me who the DNA belongs to?
The test can identify if foreign DNA is present. If you provide a known sample from a potential individual (e.g., cheek swab), we can compare it to the unknown DNA for a match or exclusion.
