Irish ancestry FAQs
To determine your ancestral regions from the 21 current British regions, we analyze over 700,000 areas of your DNA. We then compare your unique DNA signature to our database of thousands of people with known ancestry throughout The British Isles.
If you have purchased our full ancestry kit and have over 20% British and Irish ancestry, then your results will automatically be run on the British Isles and Ireland panel.
The science of DNA testing is constantly evolving and our estimates evolve with it. Your regional predictions are based on genetic signatures found in people historically located in that area for several generations. As more DNA is collected, more genetic signatures are found and refined.
If you purchased our full ancestry kit, then the process takes 6-8 weeks from receiving your sample. If you have uploaded and purchased the recent ancestry upgrade, you will receive results in 72 hours.
Brilliant resource for both health and ancestry
Living DNA is a great resource for learning about your ethnicity and health. You can also find genetic relations through DNA matches.
The best by far
I have received genetic information from other DNA companies, but honestly, Living DNA is not only the best at diagnosing genes with great accuracy, but also its customer service and the personal care of each of its agents ensure that the client receives the best attention
Thank you so much
Very impressed with Living DNA and the wonderful information you are able to supply on my ancestry and genealogy quest.
The team and the service have been smooth, caring and professional throughout - I'll be doing these blood tests periodically now, to check on how things are going and make this genius service part of my routine.
The service was everything you could want, personal, efficient and easy. Any questions that I had pre or post the test were answered swiftly and in a supportive way. They were even capable of linking me to a medical professional for support. They went above and beyond what was requested.
I received my results really quickly for my health test and was impressed at how the results report was laid out. The analysis was very in depth and having individual descriptions for each health marker is not something I’ve seen before! Will definitely use again in the future for repeat testing.
Great recent ancestry update
Your recent update seems to have hit the nail on the head as far as my heritage. This is the first result that actually looks like my tree, as I know it, and the breakdown of the Great Britain areas is quite interesting. This latest update appears to be quite reflective of what I know of my ancestry.
Accurate and informative
It was accurate and informative. I thought it was really good value for the money. Interestingly I did CRI for the wellness tests as I did not know you were doing this.
Easy to understand
Easy to understand, excellent, quick and thorough reports with a simple site to navigate around. Their book on ancestry as never before told that comes with your DNA test results is amazing. I can highly recommend using Living DNA if you are considering your own testing - you won't be disappointed in any way.
Impressive British Isles breakdown
I was really impressed with the breakdown they provided, especially because a lot of my ancestry is UK based. The results matched up really well with my paper trails and helped confirm a few things too. I am looking forward to more updates on other regional breakdowns and finding matches.
My family tree & Living DNA results align
My husband and I just got our results and they are exactly the same as our family tree. I could see that in my deep ancestry I had Scandinavia, West Balkans and Pashtun which may be Viking and Roma DNA that was brought to England.
Wow Wow Wow!
I received my test results and I am pleasantly surprised….Wow Wow Wow!! Thank you so much for what you and your team are doing. I would definitely recommend anybody to have this test done and to make use of your services.
An enriching experience
My results confirm what I have discovered from my family tree. I love the history section and I am very happy to be part of this project. This is a very enriching experience. Oh and by the way I got the results three weeks earlier than predicted!
I was very impressed
I have to tell you, I uploaded my raw data and received my first results. I ordered the upgraded version as well. I am very impressed with your level of service. I hope to do more business with you in the future and get the rest of my family the recent ancestry upgrade.

Brookfield Primary SchoolMy pupils wouldn’t normally have the opportunity to engage with their ancestry in such an interactive and meaningful way. It has provided an excellent foundation for future learning.
Highly recommended
Highly recommended. A woman of African descent, with ancestral roots across West Africa, Americas and descendant of emancipated slaves re-settled back to West Africa. My DNA reading Yoruba (87.7%) was absolutely correct.
