paternal line (your father, your father’s father, etc.) though Y-DNA testing. This
is available for males only.
Results Include:
genetic matches, paternal ancestral origins, paternal haplogroup, haplogroup migration
map, haplogroup frequency map, and test results certificate. Family Tree DNA does
not charge a subscription fee and will continue to update you about new matches
and other information regarding your results.* [Read More].
- Matches These are genetic cousins who share the same direct paternal line.
You will have access to your matches’ e-mail addresses and genealogical information
they have provided. You can begin exchanging information as soon as your results
arrive!*
- Ancestral Origins Your matches’ paternal origins, listed by country, provide
clues to your own recent geographic and ethnic ancestry.*
- Predicted Haplogroup This is your predicted place on the paternal genetic
tree of humankind.
- Migration Map & Frequency Map Interactive maps detail the ancient migrations
of your paternal ancestors and the distribution of your haplogroup from more recent
times.
- Y-DNA Certificate This is a printable certificate that includes your name
and your marker (STR) values.
- Updates As our database grows, you will receive notifications about new matches.

What Level of Y-DNA Should I Test?
The level of Y-DNA testing you choose determines how closely you are related to
your matches. The more markers you test and match, the more closely related you
are to the person you match.

* Your matches and ancestral origins largely depend on how your DNA compares to
our database. With the largest DNA database in the world, you have the greatest
chance of finding close relatives by testing with us. However, if your paternal
line is rare, it is possible you will not have matches or ancestral origins information
right away. As our database is constantly growing, you may have matches over time,
and we will send you e-mail notifications about any new matches.
** Estimated for exact 12 out of 12, 25 out of 25, 37 out of 37, or 67 out of 67
marker matches, at a 95% confidence level.
