Question:

Does anyone know where to take the mouth swab test to indentify ancestry?

I saw on one site where someone said you can do it for $100.00. I saw this on channel 8 with Oprah and Qunicy Jones and others. It was amazing what they discovered about their ansestors.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: There are quite a number of companies that will perform molecular genealogy tests. The prices differ, depending on what tests you want performed.

The Sorenson Molecular Genealogy Foundation will perform the tests for free, but you must provide a four generation pedigree and be prepared to wait a while for the results.

Family Tree DNA in the United States and Oxford Ancestors in the United Kingdom are two companies that charge for the service and provide much more rapid turnaround.
