How does the DNA test work?

You order your DNA test kit online through AffinityDNA using my referral link. They send a kit to your address, you provide a simple cheek swab at home, then return the kit to their laboratory in the prepaid packaging. When your results are ready, AffinityDNA notifies you and provides secure online access to your report.

How long do DNA test results take?

Most DNA test results are ready in a few weeks, though timings depend on the type of test and the laboratory workload. AffinityDNA gives an estimated turnaround time for each test on their website. Once you receive your results, you can contact me if you would like help interpreting them for your family history research.

Will my DNA data be shared with anyone?

Your DNA sample and test results are processed and stored by AffinityDNA under their own privacy policy and data protection rules. I do not see your raw DNA data unless you choose to share parts of your report with me for research purposes. You stay in control of your information and can decide what you share and with whom.

Can you help me understand my DNA results?

Yes. Once you have your DNA results, I can help you interpret the report, explain what it means for your Scottish or wider ancestry, and use it alongside traditional records to build or extend your family tree. You can get in touch via the contact page on my-family-history.co.uk to arrange this.
