Mastery

One of the most confusing things about testing results is pages of genetic matches (or, very few). How are these people related to you, with different surnames and from other places? Which ones are useful for researching family history? Are there any details which can be obtained without contacting them? And, which ones can and should be contacted? But, when is there time to reach out, explain, and ask for info, hoping for a reply?

Imagine knowing the deeper story of your direct male or female lineage, and having a guide to your genetic testing results, enabling you to break down ‘brick walls’ in your research.

Our Mastery level Monographs are the most comprehensive product you can receive. These are the highest echelon of direct lineage explanation. We build upon the Clarity and Savvy levels, meaning both the deep roots of your lineage and your surname etymologies/variants are included. Plus, we go a step further with our Match Explanation section.

Who are these people, your genetic matches? Why are they your matches, including people with other names and even ethnicities? Can you use any of their information be used to do family history research? What can they tell us, both indirectly and even directly? We do the sorting, communication, and detailing for you, truly making the genetic testing worth it.

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don't look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn't anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text. All the Lorem Ipsum generators on the Internet tend to repeat predefined chunks as necessary, making this the first true generator on the Internet. It uses a dictionary of over 200 Latin words, combined with a handful of model sentence structures, to generate Lorem Ipsum which looks reasonable.

I'm impressed beyond words at the mtDNA Monograph, the depth of the work and the results. Mom is reading it non-stop now. Both parts of the Monograph were fascinating and informative!

The great thing about the Monographs and Reports is that they truly explain things. Normal people are not usually able to digest the raw results the genetic testing companies give their customers. It really requires a professional touch to sort it out and interpret it. They do not tell you this when ordering the tests. Thanks again Footsteps of Ancestors!

Reading the Footsteps of Ancestors Y-DNA and mtDNA Monographs for our family was completely satisfying, and I was delighted with the story of the treks my ancestors took. My own story is just a small part of that larger trek. I completely trust Footsteps of Ancestors to accurately research the lineages of my family. And, they explain this history clearly. It's enjoyable to read. I predict that others will also be very happy with the results for many years to come.

I only wish Dad were still with us because he would have found these discoveries fascinating, especially the prehistory / archaeology. He would have been amazed and pleased that one of the most common male lines in Europe is a ‘brother’ to the most common Native American male line. Not only is the genealogy (surname and match) information in the Monograph very helpful, but the Deep Roots (Part One) is extremely interesting!

I am very impressed with their overall analysis. A service like Footsteps of Ancestors is much needed because folks don't understand the gibberish of the geneticists. Instead, they want complete explanations and in plain language. How does it all connect? — our genetic results, our family history we already have, and what experts now know about prehistory and history. This is what Footsteps of Ancestors provides. I know people in America and Europe who were reluctant to get genetic testing. Now they don't need to be.
