About us

All Wolinsky, Wilonsky, Wilensky, Wolins, Wolinetz, Wolinski, Wilentz, and similar surname males in America, Europe, and around the world, are cordially invited to take the Y-DNA test and join this new Wolinsky - Wilonsky - Wilensky Family History Y-DNA Study. Female Wolinsky-variation descendants and male Wolinsky-variation descendants not having the Wolinsky-variation surname are also cordially invited to participate and join in advancing the Study by encouraging their Wolinsky-surname brother, uncle, cousin, etc., to submit a simple cheek-swab test. They can also do the Family Finder (FF) test, which uses an extraordinary technology to search for at-DNA profile blocks and matches on all the tester's lines on both sides of his or her family. The FF test reaches back around 6-7+ generations due to random recombination of ancestor-union profile blocks each generation. Generally, the more markers tested, the better the bang for the buck in tracing detail. The starter 37-marker Y-DNA test is a very useful test. The 37m has enough marker detail to avoid false positive matches and provide minimal specific detail sufficient to tell whether two matching testers are probably related. The 67 and 111-marker tests provide progressively more marker data than the 37-marker at a smaller per-marker cost and achieving greater accuracy for long-range tracing. The most powerful and most accurate test for long-range tracing is the Big-Y 700, which can be bought on special or holiday sales from time to time at a substantial discount. But we're always glad to have a 37-marker, and it can typically be upgraded as a Christmas or birthday present to yourself without the need for a new sample.
