DNA Tests Can Tell You about Your Ancestry

One of the most common reasons for using an at-home DNA test is to learn more about your ancestors. DNA tests are excellent for this, especially if you want to learn about your ethnicity at the continental level. They can easily tell you whether your ancestors came from Europe, the Middle East, or Asia, for example.

However, if you want to know which country your ancestors are from, at-home tests become less accurate. For example, if you want to know how much Italian heritage you have, an at-home test may not provide the level of detail you require.
