Millions of people around the world are taking DNA tests. What drives them?

They want to learn more about themselves. They’re looking to feel more connected to their families – and make surprising discoveries about their past.

Meet just a few of the now over 7 million people who have already taken AncestryDNA tests.

AncestryDNA test takers are finding new family members around the world. And the number of connections they’re making is staggering.

People have already discovered over 37,000,000 third cousin or closer relatives all over the globe.

But it’s the personal stories that are the most compelling. The young man who connected with his Irish family has a great one:

“My grandmother passed away years ago, but to meet her first cousin in Ireland, and to have her welcome me and the rest of the family was just incredible.”

And so does the young woman who thought she knew all there was to know about her background until she took the DNA test:

“When I received the results for my test…it was almost like I was meeting myself for the very first time.”

Taking an AncestryDNA test is simple. And there’s so much you can learn – as many of the now over 7 million people who have already taken the test can tell you.
