DNA Tests
We recommend doing as many tests as possible. We know donor conceived persons who have found one sibling on each test. Most companies offer special promotions around holidays like Christmas, Easter, and Father’s Day.
Ancestry – currently the largest DNA database with more than 15 million participants dedicated at finding siblings and other relatives.
23andme – another large database which is specialised in genetic health reports. Accordingly, many members are more interested in health related genetic reports than finding relatives and use pseudonyms.
FTDNA – Family Finder and is available for 79 USD. The German offspring organisation Spenderkinder uses this test to search for siblings.
My Heritage DNA – an Israeli DNA database which also offers over 9 billion historical records.
GedMatch – a free analysis platform where you can upload the raw data of other dna tests for free
