This is the Melungeon version of our exclusive, best-selling DNA Fingerprint Test, based on the atDNA 11.6 database. You get all the information of the DNA Fingerprint Plus with a Melungeon Match analysis and special Melungeon certificate.
It examines all your ancestral lines at once to tell you which countries and ethnic groups your ancestors came from.
There are more than 500 matcheable populations all together. Melungeons usually have Mediterranean and Middle Eastern results in their world matches and often show high European matches in Spain, Portugal, southern France, Croatia and the British Isles. Sometimes, Romani/Gypsy or American Indian is also found. There are 60 potential North American Indian tribes one can match in DNA Consultants’ database, which is the only source for Cherokee matches.
Once you order, we send you a package with a collection kit and instructions. You will collect a sample with cheek swabs, and return the kit via a stamped business reply envelope. Your sample will be analyzed against standard STR markers, also called CODIS markers. Your values for 15 of these genetic systems are compared with the database known as atDNA 11.2 developed by population experts.
Our unique Melungeon sample became the first population to be added to the database used, since 2006, for the DNA Fingerprint Test. Now find out how high a match you have for Melungeon ancestry and receive a special Melungeon Match certificate.
