Family Tree DNA is the pioneer and the world's largest DNA company in the new field of genetic genealogy.
Your ancestors left clues in your DNA that can give determine your deep ancestral origins. By comparing your results to our databases - the largest of its kind in the world - we could give you clues about a geographical location for your African ancestry. Unlock your deep ancestral origins with DNA testing.
Y-DNA: By testing the Y-DNA, males can determine the origin of their paternal line. Note that the Y-DNA strictly checks the paternal line, with no influence of any females along that line. Females do not receive the Y-DNA, and therefore females cannot be tested for the paternal line. If you are a female and would like to know about your paternal line, you would need to have a brother or a male relative from that line to be tested.
mtDNA: By testing the mtDNA, males and females can determine the origin of their maternal line. Note that the mtDNA strictly checks the maternal line, with no influence of any males along that line. Both males and females receive the mtDNA from the mother.
