Proud Partner of ASALH
African Ancestry can help you discover the roots of your family tree and transform the way you define yourself.
Our roots are the foundation of our family tree. However, most people of African descent know more about the ancestry of others than they do about their own. That's why, the Association for the Study of African American Life and History (ASALH) has partnered with African Ancestry to help people of African descent reconnect to their ancestral past.
Using the world's largest collection of DNA sequences and proprietary analytical tools, African Ancestry is the ONLY company that can trace your maternal and/or paternal ancestry back to a specific present-day African country of origin and often to a specific African ethnic group over 500 years ago.*
Listen to Executive Director, Sylvia Cyrus discuss the importance of ASALH's partnership with African Ancestry and why all African Americans should get tested.

It only takes one simple test to get the results for everyone who shares your lineage! And, it's easy:
- Purchase your paternal and/or maternal** ancestry test online by clicking the links to the right or by calling 202-723-0900 today.
- In 7-10 days, you'll receive your kit in the mail. Just follow the easy steps to collect and return your cheek swab (no needles, no pain, no hassle).***
- In 6 weeks, you'll receive your results with a Certificate of Ancestry, map of Africa and the African Ancestry country guide.
- Then, share this invaluable information and enlightening experience with your children, parents, siblings and everyone else in your family. You'll become connected in a whole new way!
