When your AncestryDNA® results are ready, we post them to your Ancestry® account and email you an invitation to view them online. We do not send DNA results through the mail. For help finding your results online, see Locating AncestryDNA® Results.
Why we post results online
By posting DNA results online, we can deliver real-time updates and add new features as they're developed.
AncestryDNA® results and features can change over time. Mailed DNA results would capture a snapshot of your DNA, but that would quickly be outdated. This is especially true of DNA matches, which are updated frequently. But mailed results also wouldn’t reflect any updates to your ancestral origins.
