Jewish DNA Fingerprint Test Plus 18 Marker Ethnic Panel

This is the Jewish version of our exclusive, best-selling DNA Fingerprint Test, based on the atDNA 3.0 database. It examines all your ancestral lines at once, Jewish and non-Jewish, to tell you which countries and ethnic groups your ancestors came from.  In addition to Jewish population matches and marker presence, the test and ethnic panel confirm any Native American, African or Asian ancestry. You also receive your top twenty matches from different European countries or parts of countries.

Sample Jewish DNA Fingerprint Plus

Once you order, we send you a package with a collection kit and instructions by Priority Mail. You will collect a sample with a cheek swab, and return the kit via a stamped business reply envelope. Your sample will be analyzed against 16 standard STR markers, also called CODIS markers. Your values for 15 of these genetic systems are compared with databases known as the atDNA 3.0 and ENFSI, developed by population experts.

Our genealogy experts take your DNA results and evaluate the relative strength and weakness of your matches to arrive at an overall picture of your primary ancestries. You also get a world ancestry map and certificate of testing.  Our database contains three populations explicitly defined as Jewish (Sephardim in Israel, Ashkenazi Jews in Hungary and Chuetas in Spain, a crypto-Jewish population on the Majorca Islands), plus Melungeon and other related populations. It takes about six to eight weeks from start to finish. Your beautiful map and certificate is delivered by email as a pdf file, unless you also choose to purchase a high-quality color print out to be mailed to you.

The Jewish DNA Fingerprint Test can be taken by anyone, regardless of gender. This is ideal for women, who cannot otherwise test their father's line without a brother or other male to take the sex-related Y chromosome test. It is not confined to just your two "outside" male-male or female-female lines (which many believe make this autosomal test more practical and accurate). This also makes the DNA Fingerprint Test ideal for situations where relatives are deceased or unknown (as in adoptive families). 

The 18 Marker Ethnic Panel checks your lab report for 18 distinctive numerical values scattered through your genetic material. These markers were discovered by DNA Consultants. They have been linked to early human migrations branching out of Africa into Asia, Native America and Europe  as shown on our map.

Your report tells you if you have the marker from one parent, from both, or from neither. It is not possible to say which parent you get a marker from--that is up to you to decide! And the fact that you do not have a marker does not mean that you lack that ancestry.

Add DNA Archiving Pack if you would like to preserve a sample of your DNA for emergencies or future testing.
