04Past Life Narrative

Your features carry the imprint of a Mediterranean crossroads — Phoenician trade winds, Roman roads, and Andalusian gardens. An ancestor of yours may have crossed Gibraltar in the 9th century, settled in southern Iberia, and a generation later moved north along the trade arc that fed Genoa and Venice. The result is the warm, layered profile your face quietly carries today.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything before you download.

Is Cestry a DNA test?
No. Cestry uses AI to analyse the visual characteristics of a selfie and generate heritage-inspired insights. It is not a DNA test, genetic service, or scientific diagnostic. Results are for curiosity, exploration and storytelling.
Does Cestry work in countries where DNA tests are unavailable?
Yes. Cestry only needs a photo — no kit shipment is required. That makes it accessible in countries like Russia and other regions where DNA test kits from companies such as AncestryDNA, 23andMe and MyHeritage cannot be imported.
What languages does Cestry support?
Cestry is available in 38 locales on the App Store, including English, Russian, Turkish, Spanish, Portuguese, Arabic, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Italian, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Polish, Ukrainian, Hindi and many more.
Is Cestry free?
Cestry is free to download. Access to some analyses and premium features requires an in-app purchase or subscription. Check the App Store and the in-app purchase screen for current pricing. You can explore the sample report on this website before downloading.
How does Cestry analyse ancestry from a photo?
Choose a clear, front-facing selfie in the app. AI uses it to generate heritage-inspired estimates and narratives across categories such as ethnicity, migration paths and phenotype traits. A photo cannot verify genetic ancestry; these results are for entertainment.
Are my photos stored or shared?
Photos are temporarily processed and automatically deleted within 24 hours. Text-based reports are retained. Infrastructure providers process data to provide the service; see the Privacy Policy for details. Privacy Policy ↗
