Do they share that info with 3rd parties?** A: Ancestry.com & 23 & Me can sell your DNA to 3rd parties (although your name is not attached to your DNA...."anonymous") BUT Family Tree DNA makes a PROMISE to NEVER sell or share it even anonymously. When you die & if you have not given a family member your kit # & password to log into your account (I'm giving it to my 3 sisters) or if you do not have a "beneficiary" with a GOOD contact email & phone # then they will "own" your DNA at that point at least for 25 years after you submitted your DNA but I don't know if they can still keep your RAW DATA & what they do with it then...maybe research of some kind with geneaology stuff like surnames? I think after a person dies ....ALL the companies have rights of some kind to your DNA or data or both? **Q: Does this kit include a copy of the raw data code?** A: Partially, if you are a male unless you pay to get the upgrade for the Y-DNA tests they ignore doing anything with the Y chromosome information. **Q: Does this include both the testing kit and lab work.....all in one price?** A: yes, this includes both the test kit and lab work for the standard test. **Q: The "Family Matching. Enhanced Results" picture shows names of relatives. Would other possible relatives be able to get my name?** A: It DEPENDS on how you set your privacy settings. You can select PRIVATE, immediate & close relatives or distant relatives or ALL relatives. So like another person said you can also just use initials instead of your full name if you want too. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ i dislike all the negative reviews. they've been good to me *by on Reviewed in the United States February 7, 2020* this will be the 2nd autosomal test ive ordered from family tree dna through amazon. for starters this is also the 5th test total ive ordered from family tree dna too, and overall im disappointed with many opinions and or outright problems people have been having with family tree dna. granted genealogy is one heck of a hard concept to fully understand. my own reasons in particular going with family tree dna was the comprehensive Y testing that you really can't get elsewere witch has really turned a few heads in my family but also confirmed many stories that have been pasted down. autosomal tests ive taken though them though i am inclined to think there is room for improvement or at least more comprehensive results but by no means did i fhave outright outrages in my results. this was a gift btw to further my own research but as far as ease of use and instructions i thought it was pretty straight forward and had no problems with any test ive ordered from them. no botched results, no shipping errors, no missing information. and even had pretty speedy results half the time. my advice is if you have any hesitations or concerns with the amazon reviews id recommend going directly to the website and reading up on them. they really do have an amazing Q and A section on darn near everything you can think of.there are pros and cons with family tree dna for sure like high prices compared to other companies but you cannot find a more comprehensive test on the market as others have said, so just just do your research before deciding. from start to finish on this particular test it took 16 days to be processed. i don't think that is unreasonable at all. i just don't understand all the hate...the only issue ive had in particular was finding many matches but everyday the pool keeps growing so im not worried. this seems to be the only thing ancestry has over family tree dna. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ancestry is a good choice if you are going to do no further ... *by on Reviewed in the United States September 1, 2017* I've done testing with both Ancestry and FTDNA. If you're testing for ethnicity, you probably shouldn't be testing at all. DNA doesn't respect political/national boundaries. There's basically no difference between a German and an Englishmen genetically speaking. For the differences there are, they will be different at different times because of migrations/invasions. Both the Ancestry and FTDNA Family Finder test are autosomal DNA tests which tests chromosomes from both parents. Ancestry is a good choice if you are going to do no further testing. They have the largest DNA database to match upon and their ethnicity calculator comes up with results that most people would expect. FTDNA's recent changes in how they calculate ethnicities has produced strange results because of their reference population choices. You can also download your raw results and import them into FTDNA but Ancestry doesn't allow the opposite.The reason to test with FTDNA is their additional testing products. If you're a male tester, you can do additional Y-DNA testing which only tests the Y-chromosome. This allows the test to reach much further back in time; autosomal testing is only good for about 4-5 generations. FTDNA also keeps your sample for 25 years so it's available for additional testing even if the original test taker isn't. So if you're considering doing any additional DNA testing, FTDNA is your best choice. Ancestry only has the autosomal test. FTDNA's test doesn't require any subscription fees on their site to access other member's trees like Ancestry does. They also have a Chromosome browser to check DNA matches -- Ancestry does not . FTDNA is much more about DNA testing; Ancestry is about their genealogy records. Both will come back with accurate DNA results - ie the raw DNA file. The ethnicity results for both should be looked at with extreme skepticism -- the testing is more suited for determining ancestral matches. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cheek swab, easy to use, decently quick turnaround time *by on Reviewed in the United States January 1, 2024* Although I felt like this was a lesser known brand (maybe because other brands are advertised more), I was very pleased with this test. I didn’t realize how popular this testing service actually was in serious genealogy circles. Other services are a bit more commercial, while this one seems to be more in-depth for serious researchers.This test was given to an older relative who was unable to spit in a tube which is needed for other ancestry tests. Instead, this test allows you to swab the tester’s cheek, which made the process much easier to perform on my family member.Although the DNA relatives database seems to be smaller than other companies (meaning the sample pool in which ethnicities are drawn from is not as diverse), this test still gave me insight on my relative’s ethnicity breakdown and y-DNA. I believe this is the basic testing kit, and I know there are other kits that go deeper into y-dna and mtdna, but they come at a much steeper price.Like other companies, you are able to download your raw dna files once they’re available to you. The turn around time for the test was maybe about 2 weeks before I received an email about the ethnicity results. Then maybe 2-3 weeks later, the y-dna results were ready for reviewing as well.FamilyTreeDNA isn’t quite as user-friendly as other ancestry/genealogy DNA testing services, but it wasn’t difficult to learn how to use their website and the information you receive from your results. I did have some difficultly with trying to create a family tree through their service because it said my screen display (on my phone, tablet, and laptop were all too small).From my understanding, it seems like since I’ve done one test already with them, that if I wanted to upgrade to a better y-dna test, I would not have to submit another DNA sample. (I hope to try this in the future.) This is a really great feature because the relative I tested might not be able to give another sample a few months from now.I believe it’s important to note that you can only have one DNA test per account at the time I am writing this review, unlike other websites which allow you to manage multiple DNA results under one account. There is also no app available (as far as I can tell) to use these services or view your results. You have to do it from a web browser.*Make sure you save your kit number somewhere before you send off your results. This is needed every time you log in to your account. ## Frequently Bought Together - FamilyTreeDNA Family Finder, Ancestry & DNA Test Kit, Discover Your Origins & Unlock Your Geographic Roots, Connect with Your DNA Relatives, At-Home Test Kit for Expertly Processed Convenient Sampling - AncestryDNA Genetic Test Kit: Personalized Genetic Results, DNA Ethnicity Test, Origins & Ethnicities, Complete DNA Test - MyHeritage DNA Test Kit: Genetic Testing for Ancestry & Ethnicity Covering 2,114 Geographic Regions and DNA Matching to Relatives --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/39995853-family-finder-ancestry-and-dna-test-swab-collection-kit-expertly](https://www.desertcart.us/products/39995853-family-finder-ancestry-and-dna-test-swab-collection-kit-expertly) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-08-14*
