About the test
The Ancient Ancestry® Series includes revolutionary DNA tests that enable you to trace your fine-regional ancient origins based on DNA-mixture events that started up to 15,000 years ago! The Ancient Ancestry® Series does not rely on the self-reported ancestry of modern-day people like yourself because no one can trace their ancestry for over 500 years. To penetrate 15,000 years into the past, The Ancient Ancestry® Series uses only DNA extracted from skeletons dated to prehistoric times.
This allows each test in the Ancient Ancestry® Series to go back further and more deeply into the past and reconstruct the regional changes in the genetic gene pools with minimal assumptions.
To calculate your ancient local ancestry, the test identified small fragments of your autosomal DNA that were retained from known ancient populations and were passed on to you by your ancestors without being accidentally lost by chance.
The Advanced Test includes all known 343 ancient British Islander groups of over 1000 British Islander(!) sequenced to date (12,500 BC - 1090 AD), including:
England BellBeaker, England Central-Early Bronze Age, England Derbyshire Iron Age, England Early Bronze Age, England Early Bronze Age-BellBeaker, England Early Iron Age, England Early Medieval, England Early Medieval-Saxon, England EastYorkshire Anglian, England EastYorkshire Early Iron Age, England EastYorkshire Late Iron Age, England EastYorkshire Middle Iron Age, England EastYorkshire Middle Iron Age-Late Iron Age, England Iron Age, England Iron Age-Early Medieval, England Iron Age-Early Roman, England Iron Age-Roman, England Kent AngloSaxon Early Medieval, England Late Bronze Age, England Late Iron Age, England Mesolithic, England Middle Bronze Age, England Middle Iron Age, England Middle Iron Age-Late Iron Age, England Neolithic, England Neolithic-Megalithic, England Neolithic-orfolk AngloSaxon Early Medieval, England Neolithic-orfolk AngloSaxon EMedieval, England Neolithic-orthumberland Early Bronze Age, England Neolithic-orthYorkshire Early Bronze Age, England Neolithic-orthYorkshire Iron Age, England Roman, England Saxon, England Scorton Anglian, England Suffolk AngloSaxon Early Medieval, England Trumpington Neolithic, England Viking, Ireland Early Bronze Age, Ireland Early Neolithic, Ireland Early Neolithic-Middle Neolithic, Ireland Kilteasheen AngloSaxon EMedieval Neolithic-orman, Ireland Late Neolithic, Ireland Megalithic, Ireland Mesolithic, Ireland Middle Neolithic, Ireland Neolithic, Ireland Viking, IsleofMan Early Bronze Age, IsleOfMan Viking, Scotland BellBeaker, Scotland BlackIsle Iron Age, Scotland Central-Early Bronze Age, Scotland Early Bronze Age, Scotland Early Iron Age, Scotland Iron Age, Scotland Late Bronze Age, Scotland Late Iron Age, Scotland Megalithic, Scotland Mesolithic, Scotland Middle Bronze Age, Scotland Middle Iron Age, Scotland Middle Iron Age-Late Iron Age, Scotland Neolithic, Scotland Orkney Iron Age, Scotland Orkney Middle Bronze Age, Scotland Shetland Iron Age, Scotland Skye Iron Age, Scotland Skye Neolithic, Scotland Viking, Wales Central-Early Bronze Age, Wales Iron Age, Wales Late Bronze Age, Wales Late Iron Age, Wales Mesolithic, Wales Middle Bronze Age, Wales Middle Iron Age, Wales Middle Iron Age-Late Iron Age, Wales Neolithic.
The Basic Test includes 10 selected ancient British Islander groups of over 100 British Islanders (7763 BC - 950 AD), including:
England Iron Age, England Neolithic-Megalithic, England Neolithic, England Late Bronze Age, Ireland Viking, Scotland Viking, Scotland Mesolithic, England Central-Early Bronze Age, Ireland Middle Neolithic, England Early Iron Age.
You will receive all available information about each group, including its ancient gene pool breakdown, estimated age, cultural identity, and the maternal and paternal haplogroups of every individual. You will also see your genetic distance from each of your ancient ancestors. All of this is presented in an interactive display that allows you to explore and connect with every ancient person as you uncover your roots.
This unique test has no parallel in other companies. It was developed over five years and could not have been made available without a breakthrough in AI and paleogenomics, which enabled the sequencing of the DNA of ancient British Isles and non-British Isles populations.

Why take this test
For thousands of years, people have looked to the land, the stars, and the stories of their ancestors to understand who they are. Yet today, many of us live disconnected from those ancient roots. We may know our family tree back a few generations, but the deeper past — the true origins of our people — often remains a mystery.
This longing to know where we come from is one of the most basic and timeless human needs. It is not just curiosity — it is about identity, belonging, and the story of you. To know your ancestry is to know yourself.
Unlike ordinary DNA tests that only compare you to modern-day people, our Ancient British Isles Ancestry Test goes further. It is built on cutting-edge science that uses ancient DNA from true historical populations — people who lived thousands of years ago. These are the men and women who built monuments like Stonehenge, who walked the ancient lands of Britain and Ireland long before history was written.
By analyzing your DNA against these authentic ancient genomes, we uncover connections that modern tests simply cannot see. This is the only test designed to look into the past itself — not just to show who you are like today, but to reveal who you truly came from.
When you take this test, you don’t just get results — you reconnect with the story of your ancestors. You learn the truths hidden in your blood that link you to the land, to its history, and to the people who shaped it.
Find your place in history. Connect with your true roots. Discover the ancestry that no other test can reveal.
