Y-DNA is passed down from father to son

Biological males can have their Y-DNA tested. Y-DNA testing can help you discover and verify your direct paternal ancestry by connecting you with other individuals who are descendants of a shared common patrilineal ancestor.

Your Y-DNA matches will share a common ancestor with you on your direct paternal line. That common ancestor can be recent (meaning within a generation or two) or more distant (living up to around 1,000 years ago). The tools and data gained through a Y-DNA test can help you learn more about your patrilineal family history.

  •  Connect with matches to discover your shared patrilineal ancestry.

  •  View and explore your Y-DNA matches’ Family Trees.

  •  Discover new patrilineal ancestors.

Males can use Y-DNA to determine where their direct paternal ancestors came from, their locations in historic times, and how they migrated throughout the world.

  •  Discover your patrilineal ancestors’ ancient migration path out of, or across, Africa.

  •  Find your placement on the world’s largest Y-DNA Haplotree.
