You MUST Have FIRST purchased the Ancestral Origins DNA (Autosomal DNA) Test, following:
The Ancestral Origins DNA test is very good at predicting the mixture of continental origin(s) a person comes from, but is limited in its ability to predict mixtures of intra-continental ancestral composition. For example, the test could indicate that someone is of 87% European descent and 13% Native American decent (as seen in the Ancestral Origins DNA bar graph on the right). To further resolve what intra-continental origin more testing is needed.

Then you can purchase the Euro-DNA Upgrade following:
The
test that further resolves ones ancestral origin beyond what the
Ancestral Origins test product does is called the
Euro-DNA Upgrade. This test is
used to resolve the intra-continental ancestral composition for the European
group. To do this, the test examines 320 SNP markers (this is
including the 175 Ancestral Origins DNA markers) to look deeper within the
following European lineages:
The Euro-DNA Upgrade test is only available to participants whose
AncestryByDNA test results reveal greater than 50% for European ancestry,
less than 15% for African ancestry, less than 40% for East
Asian ancestry, and less than 15% for Native American ancestry. If someone
believes that they have >50% European
ancestry and have not yet been tested using the
Ancestral Origins test product,
then they can NOT purchase the Euro-DNA Upgrade.
*This particular person did not have Southeastern European (Mediterranean) or
South Asian DNA in his make-up. A person with all Four Lines of European could
have up to 7 lines on the bar graph.
If tested using the Euro-DNA Upgrade, the results could indicate that someone is 70% Northern European, 17% Middle Eastern and 13% Native American (as seen in the Euro-DNA bar graph on the above right).
If you have NOT purchase the Ancestral Origins test and would like to know your European Break Down of Lineages you may purchase the Ancestral Origins+Euro. This combines the Ancestral Origins test and the Euro-DNA Upgrade into one complete package.
