Okay, I know this question has been asked about a thousand times before, but I'm asking it again.

I'm thinking of getting my hubby a DNA kit. Mostly for ancestry and all the fun stuff. He doesn't care about health reports.

23andme is out of the question because they don't ship to my country.

What is the next best option?

I would say AncestryDNA, however FamilyFinder is cheaper (currently just 39 dollars):

AncestryDNA is the best choice in my opinion

With FTDNA test you gain access to their Group Projects and also they are better when it comes to haplogroups.

The ethnicity breakdown is rather better at AncestryDNA, also their raw data is better for GEDmatch calculators.

Ancestry.com would be my first choice. 23&me would be second. 3rd would be a toss up of ftDNA and MyHeritage.com. One company that I would not recommend is CRIgenetics. The admixture estimates are way off from the pattern seen in the other tests that I have taken. I think I will make a dedicated thread about it. Another downside is they do not allow one to download his/her DNA data.

It's the new Trump brand DNA test. It's the best, the most accurate, the most comprehensive DNA test out there. It's better than 23andMe, AncestryDNA, Living DNA, HomeDNA, MyHeritage DNA, all of them. And let me tell you, folks, the results you get from the Trump brand DNA test, they're beautiful, they're tremendous, they're like nothing you've ever seen. Believe me, you're gonna be amazed at the results you get.

Ancestry or Myheritage.
Ancestry if you lean into the ethnic exploration side
MyHeritage if you prioritize raw data, health, and price

Other companies dont measure up
