MyHeritage DNA’s one-swab test could connect you with relatives you never knew existed.

If you’ve ever thought about taking a DNA test to see where your heritage stems from, or to see if you have a long-lost, ideally famous, cousin you didn’t know about, then there’s no better time than the present.

MyHeritage DNA makes the process super simple. A quick cheek swab sent off in a prepaid kit is all it takes to unlock your genetic story. Within weeks, the results appear in your private online dashboard, ready to explore.

What exactly do you learn? MyHeritage DNA goes beyond a percentage breakdown. Its advanced technology analyses your genetic markers, comparing them against one of the world’s largest DNA databases. The result is a detailed picture of your heritage, including regional ethnicity estimates, migration paths and even unexpected connections that may have become lost over generations.

The real game-changer in MyHeritage DNA is its DNA-matching feature. As MyHeritage has a global network of 7.7million users, it can connect you with those relatives you never even knew existed – be it across the country or on the other side of the world (just think of all the couches you may soon be able to surf on).

Each match comes with varying degrees of closeness, from distant cousins to immediate family, and the platform makes it easy to reach out and connect safely.
