A prerequisite before ordering your Origin-DNA SERVICE is either having received the results from your Family Finder test with FamilyTreeDNA.com OR iGENEA.com. Alternatively, you have ported your results from AncestryDNA.com, 23andMe.com or MyHeritage to FamilyTreeDNA.com (which is a free service).
We have documented the Ordering Steps, please access the PDF version of the ORDERING GUIDE.
Steps 1 to 7 show you how to download (onto your Computer / MAC Desktop) all the various Family Finder results files from the members of your close family that you wish to include in your Origin-DNA SERVICE.
You will then package these files into an Encrypted File Send URL, and paste the URL into the relevant service listed on the ORDER ENTRY webpage that you wish to order, using the process laid out in the ORDERING GUIDE.
The SERVICE DESCRIPTION provides initial information on the package of information that the Origin-DNA System will provide to you upon completion of our processing.
There are three Origin-DNA product offerings, which use almost the same Service Ordering process:
MISSING-LINK – enables a Home Kit Owner to create a consolidated User Output Spreadsheet which contains all their extended family ancestral DNA data, so as to help them determine the names of their ancestors.
COMPARATOR – enables the comparison of your extended family data vs a single person who is nominally distantly related to you. This report is extremely useful to help compare the DNA data of the single person to see if they are indeed related to your extended family – as the report reveals common direct and indirect Family Finder Cousins.
NOBLE – enables the comparison of a single member of your family group vs a select group of people who have a partial ancestral descendance from various Noble & Royal lines. A number of Noble & Royal line options have been provided - Wettin (1), Shepherd (1) and Romanov (3).
