Guides
Educational guides about AI ancestry analysis — how photo-based heritage apps work, when to use them vs DNA tests, and what to expect in markets where DNA kits don't ship.
Is Ancestry from a Selfie a DNA Test?
Learn the difference between photo-based AI heritage apps (like Cestry) and lab-based DNA tests (like 23andMe, AncestryDNA). When to use which, accuracy expectations, and what each category can and cannot do.
DNA Test Unavailable in Your Country?
DNA test kits don't ship to Russia, China, Iran, and several MENA markets due to import restrictions. Cestry is a photo-based AI alternative that works anywhere — no kit, no shipping, instant results.
