Ancestry.com does it. I think there are others as well.

>> Ancestry.com does it. I think there are others as well <<

I think you’ll find that the best-informed people in the genealogy community will usually recommend Family Tree DNA (FTDNA). This company offers many more options, and they have much better customer service than does either Ancestry or the “23andMe” company.

But if you did use Ancestry.com, not to worry — because FTDNA will allow you to copy your results data from Ancestry into the FTDNA database for free. That way, you can approximately double your chances of finding useful matches.

(Full disclosure: I’ve been a very satisfied FTDNA customer since 2002. My DNA marker values have been “out in the open” since then, and nothing bad has happened as a result. On the other hand, I’ve made some very important genealogical research breakthroughs thanks to DNA.)
