Not sure what product to order or need help in understanding your DNA results?

If you are new to the world of genetic genealogy it can be a daunting prospect to try to understanding the terminology and exactly what the results have found. Your Scottish Ancestry offers a one-to-one consultancy service.

• We will communicate with you via email or Skype.  After you have received your FTDNA login details we will assess your results and matches
• We can help you interpret the results and explain what they have revealed and what this means for your research
• If possible we will seek to identify your patrilineal place of origin (this depends on the level of test taken and your matching)
• We will seek to identify your more recent paternal or maternal geographical origin
• We will establish the degree of genealogical relationship you have with your matches and the time to a common shared ancestor
• Provide advice on the interpretation of Family Finder results
• Advice on suitable further testing to further your research and confirm relationships
• Advice on suitable projects to join, i.e. haplogroup or special interest groups

If you have not chosen a test yet:

• We can help you decide on the correct product to order depending on your research question(s) and who is available to test.

You are buying one hour of time from Your Scottish Ancestry. If there are multiple research questions more than one block of consultancy time may be required.

DNA results of each individual are unique. Results are partly dependent on your genetic cousins having tested and each of your lineages having produced children. Your Scottish Ancestry cannot guarantee you will have matches immediately or that a full or final interpretation of your results will be possible. This service is offered in good faith and with the above proviso.

Further information about choosing and ordering a test can be read in this our DNA testing document.
