GPS Origins™ Ancestry Test
Only $159 with results in 4 to 6 weeks
Do you want to discover your roots? Are you looking to trace your family’s unique heritage? The GPS Origins™ Ancestry Test is the only ancestry test that allows you to learn more about your ancestors by tracing their footsteps. Through this DNA testing service, you can discover the countries, cities, and even islands from which your ancestors migrated.
Using the latest in genealogy and tracking technology, the GPS Origins™ Ancestry Test will accurately pinpoint your ancestors’ origins to the finest degree.
How the GPS Origins™ Ancestry Test Works
The GPS Origins Ancestry Test is the most advanced ancestry test in our portfolio. It uses the latest breakthroughs in genealogy and genetics and combines these with the Geographic Population Structure (GPS), a new ancestry tracking tool.
Unlike other ancestry tests that report genetic similarity to modern day populations, the GPS Origins Ancestry Test focuses on physically tracing your ancestry, tracing your roots back up to about 1000 years from present day.
This biotracing technology allows our experts to pinpoint specific locations on the map. In some cases, we can even give you specific information about your ancestors’ island, town, or village.
The GPS Origins™ Ancestry Test vs. Other Ancestry Tests
We all have the natural desire to learn more about our origins. Most of us are able to create a family tree that covers three or, at most, four generations. But every paper trail comes to an end at around 1500 and without further information, genealogy is met with a road block that only specialised genetic tools can address. This is where we come in!
The GPS Origins Ancestry Test will help you overcome the lack of paper trail and continue your genealogy research allowing you to dig deeper into your heritage.
Check out the table below to learn how the GPS Origins Ancestry Test is different from standard ancestry tests:

The Results of the Test
Expect to receive an interactive and fully detailed report that contains the following information:
Gene Pool Analysis: This is an extensive analysis of the 36 global gene pools our experts used to calculate your autosomal DNA’s genetic signature. Doing this allows us to link you to the specific areas or countries of your ancestors (e.g. Northern India, Southern France, Basque Country, Sardinia, etc.)
Gene Pool Percentages: This part of the report allows you to see your top 3 gene pools. The regions included in these gene pools are also highlighted in an interactive map.
Gene Pool Percentages – Complete Results: Aside from your top 3 gene pools, you will also receive a breakdown of all gene pool regions and the percentage affiliation.
Biogeographical Tracing Percentages: An interactive map will allow you to explore the parental routes of your ancestors and learn where and when they arrived at each time point.
Historical Information: This section of the report also provides a detailed explanation of your ancestors’ agricultural and historical background. Pertinent pieces of information are plotted on a map.
Results will be emailed to you within 4 to 6 weeks from the time our laboratory confirms receipt of your samples.
(The actual results are an online interactive report. This PDF is just a sample.)
