Can kids do Ancestry?

Published in Ancestry for Minors 1 min read

Yes, kids can use Ancestry, but with parental or guardian involvement.

Here's a breakdown:

  • Minors and AncestryDNA: When a minor uses AncestryDNA, their parent or legal guardian is responsible for their actions.
  • Consent: The parent or guardian is considered to have consented to Ancestry's use of the minor's information.
  • Guardianship Representation: By submitting a DNA sample for a minor, you confirm that you are their parent or legal guardian, as stated in the reference material.

In summary, while children can participate in Ancestry services like DNA testing, it requires a parent or legal guardian to manage the process and provide consent.
