Frequently Asked Questions What can I know with a DNA test? MyHeritage DNA offers you two types of information: Ethnic Estimate: A percentage breakdown of regions around the world where their ancestors come from: be it Ireland, Italy, East Asia, or any of the 42 ethnic regions collected by MyHeritage, which has the largest range of ethnicities in the industry. You inherit 50% of the ethnic backgrounds of each of your parents, so in your results you will see both sides of your family. DNA Matching: This tool uses your DNA to help you find relatives. Your matches, paternal or maternal, will include information about your shared genetic sequences and identify the relationship in an estimated way. Thanks to our global database, you can connect with people from all over the world. Is there any additional cost to see my results? No. Payment for your kit covers your ethnic estimate and DNA matching service. What are the benefits of other family members taking a test? If one or both parents take a test will allow you to learn more about their DNA matches. Since genetic inheritance is random, your siblings may get different ethnic outcomes from yours; it is fascinating and fun to compare such results. How is my privacy protected? MyHeritage ensure that your account and personal data are protected with multiple layers of encryption. We do not share results with any third party.
