    Smile DNA ethnicity/genetic testing

    Probably not the best place to ask but.....

    Does anyone know where and how to get genetic tests to determine what your ethnic origins are.

    I know you can get tests which tell you percentages of different basic races... last time I checked ime white..

    But what I want is something that will tell me what modern community's I am related to.

    Google has brought up places like this.. http://www.dna-worldwide.com/ancestr...rld-dna-match/

    Can anyone enlighten me if they have done this before/ have any knowledge on this.

    Cheers

    Re: DNA ethnicity/genetic testing

    Hmm this is one I had come across in the past:- http://www.dnaancestryproject.com/?g...FYND3godYHsvbw

    Based in the US, but you can still do it, they send you over a mouth swab or something, and you send it back over.

    This stuff ain't cheap though! And I'm not too sure about the reliability/accuracy (something you'd have to research) but it probably is.
