Testimonials

“I have been searching for my biological father since 1992. I never thought I would find out who he was. With the help of the DNAngels I did in just a matter of hours. I had an Ancestry Tree, had taken the Ancestry DNA tests and had 1 match over 1000cms that did not match anything I had on my tree. The DNAngels took it and ran with it!! There’s not enough ways to say “Thank You” to these amazing women!! As I’ve seen posted many times before, but it’s worth repeating, Never Give UP!!”
