This is the DNA company with the largest database. The company is based in Utah, USA, and most of their database entries are USA citizens. The test is a spit test, you have to spit in a container, and return it to the lab. Ancestry does NOT allow the uploading of RAW DNA from other companies. If you want to be in their database, you have to take their test.
