You’re invited to a family reunion centuries in the making.

Many of us have a family tree with blank spaces. Maybe records were lost or never existed in the first place. Reconstructed Ancestors fills in those gaps, giving you a more complete picture of family history.

Reconstructed Ancestors fills in the gaps in your family tree for a more complete picture of your history.

Uses shared DNA from your 23andMe relatives to piece together the genetic profiles of your ancestors.

Reveals insights into their ancestry and what was passed down to you, without having tested their DNA.

The more relatives who test, and the more relatives added to your family tree, the more comprehensive the reconstruction.

Available exclusively to 23andMe+ Premium and Total Health members.

This couldn't have been possible without GRAMPA.

Reconstructed Ancestors was built by GRAMPA: an algorithm based on Genotype Reconstruction and Ancestral Mixture Proportions in Ancestors. Think of it like a genetic jigsaw puzzle where the missing pieces are filled in by looking at the context around it.

Built with the GRAMPA algorithm (Genotype Reconstruction and Ancestral Mixture Proportions in Ancestors), it fills in the missing pieces by looking at the context around it.

Each piece of DNA you share with a relative has traveled through a shared ancestor. GRAMPA uses these overlapping segments, scattered across hundreds or even thousands of relatives to reconstruct the genome of that ancestor.

You control who sees your DNA connections and how your information is used, ensuring your journey into your family’s past is both meaningful and secure.

In the future, it gets even grander.

This newly launched feature includes ancestors going back two generations. Which is pretty grand. But even more grand, is where we’re taking this. This is just the beginning for Reconstructed Ancestors.

Future updates will go much further back to reconstruct ancestors from long ago.

Every new relative who joins 23andMe helps add more pieces to the puzzle and brings you one step closer to understanding where you come from.

Our hope is that one day you'll be able to accurately piece together your entire family tree, including the gaps, with DNA as your guide.

Add to cart Important test info

*The 23andMe PGS test includes health predisposition and carrier status reports. Health predisposition reports include both reports that meet FDA requirements for genetic health risks and reports which are based on 23andMe research and have not been reviewed by the FDA. The test uses qualitative genotyping to detect select clinically relevant variants in the genomic DNA of adults from saliva for the purpose of reporting and interpreting genetic health risks and reporting carrier status. It is not intended to diagnose any disease. Your ethnicity may affect the relevance of each report and how your genetic health risk results are interpreted. Each genetic health risk report describes if a person has variants associated with a higher risk of developing a disease, but does not describe a person’s overall risk of developing the disease. The test is not intended to tell you anything about your current state of health, or to be used to make medical decisions, including whether or not you should take a medication, how much of a medication you should take, or determine any treatment. Our carrier status reports can be used to determine carrier status, but cannot determine if you have two copies of any genetic variant. These carrier reports are not intended to tell you anything about your risk for developing a disease in the future, the health of your fetus, or your newborn child's risk of developing a particular disease later in life. For certain conditions, we provide a single report that includes information on both carrier status and genetic health risk. Warnings & Limitations: The 23andMe PGS Genetic Health Risk Report for BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) is indicated for reporting of 44 variants in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. The report describes if a person's genetic result is associated with an increased risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer and may be associated with an increased risk for prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, and potentially other cancers. The variants included in this report do not represent the majority of the BRCA1/BRCA2 variants in people of most ethnicities. This report does not include variants in other genes linked to hereditary cancers and the absence of variants included in this report does not rule out the presence of other genetic variants that may impact cancer risk. This report is for over-the-counter use by adults over the age of 18, and provides genetic information to inform discussions with a healthcare professional. The PGS test is not a substitute for visits to a healthcare professional for recommended screenings or appropriate follow-up. Results should be confirmed in a clinical setting before taking any medical action.
