NEW: MyHeritage DNA tests for genealogy!
MyHeritage is proud to take genealogy to the new millennium by offering a revolutionary technology for advancing family history research — DNA testing — at affordable prices.
Your ancestors left clues to your family history in you and in other descendents, and you can unlock these clues by testing your DNA. Order your DNA test now.
DNA testing can help you:
- Discover previously unknown relatives via DNA matches
- Uncover the ethnic and geographical origins of your ancestors
- Prove or disprove whether you and another person are related through a common ancestor
- Break through "brick walls" encountered during your family history research
DNA tests are useful for identifying the deep ancestral origins of your direct paternal line (Y-DNA), your direct maternal line (mtDNA), finding relatives across all lines via autosomal DNA (Family Finder) and producing a percentage breakdown of your ethnic roots.
The following video shows where to find the new DNA service on MyHeritage:
For analysis of users’ DNA samples and DNA matching, MyHeritage has partnered with Family Tree DNA, the global leader in genetic genealogy. The company pioneered the genealogy DNA industry and has amassed the world’s largest DNA database, providing the best capabilities for genealogy DNA matching, which MyHeritage users now enjoy. Family Tree DNA is also well known for its work with National Geographic on the Genographic Project, and it operates its state-of-the-art genetic genealogy lab in Houston, Texas. Privacy is strictly maintained and DNA results are not shared with anyone but you.
MyHeritage is introducing today a wide range of DNA tests to meet different research objectives and budgets. For an introductory period, all prices are discounted for MyHeritage subscribers, starting as low as $84.
DNA projects provide opportunities for people to collaborate with others to explore a common genetic heritage, especially for exploring whether people with the same surname are related. Project membership is free and voluntary. If there is a DNA Surname Project for your last name, you will see this on your profile.

We are happy to bring this innovative set of products to you, the best that science has to offer to push the frontier of your family history research, as we continue to work hard to make MyHeritage a more complete destination for your family history needs.
We hope you will soon join our founder Gilad, and our in-house genealogists Daniel, Schelly and Laurence, who have all purchased DNA tests for taking their family history to the next level.

Even without this, the good news for you is that you will be able to do the "Family Finder" and / or mt-DNA tests
The Family Finder (autosomal DNA) test will find maternal and paternal matches up to 5 generations past, so if you match up with someone with your Father's surname, you may be able to get the Y-DNA results from a distant cousin.
The mt-DNA result will give you the strict maternal line, (passed on from Mother to child

Dear Don, yes a Y DNA test will compare you with other males in the database and has the potential to identify a surname of your paternal line. We also suggest you the Family Finder test which uses autosomal DNA (inherited from the mother and father, four grandparents, eight great-grandparents, etc.) to provide you a breakdown of your ethnic percentages and connect you with relatives descended from any of your ancestral lines within approximately the last 6 generations.

bylo by možné přidat do seznamu v software Family Tree Builder další společnost testující DNA?
Jednalo by se o společnost "Genomac International, s.r.o." .....
Před časem jsem si u této společnosti nechal dělat testy DNA, připadá mi zbytečné nechávat dělat testy u jiné společnosti znovu.
Děkuji...

I am not going to give ANYONE my DNA to be abused. Not willingly and voluntarily. The fact that you force me to give my DNA to you by bugging me via e-mails to do that, makes it more suspectable to me.
What do YOU need my DNA for? Nothing good, I know that.
