Y-DNA Ancestry Test Kits
Discover your direct paternal family line & insights into your patrilineal ancestors.
Y-DNA Ancestry Testing is a powerful tool for tracing a male’s direct paternal lineage, analysing genetic markers passed down virtually unchanged from father to son on the Y-chromosome. This test focuses solely on male ancestry, making it ideal for men interested in exploring their paternal family line and estimated surname origins.
Y-DNA Ancestry testing offers several levels of analysis, including the Y-37, Y-111 marker tests and the Big Y-700 Test.
Y-37 Marker Test
The Y-37 test examines 37 specific markers on the Y-chromosome, providing insights into one’s paternal ancestry and identifying potential matches within the past several centuries.
Y-111 Marker Test
The Y-111 test, which analyzes 111 markers, offers a higher resolution of genetic detail, allowing for even more precise identification of paternal matches and potential relationships within family branches.
Big Y-700 Marker Test
The Big Y-700 Test is one of the most comprehensive Y-DNA tests available, designed specifically for males looking to explore their deep paternal lineage. The Big Y test analyses the most markers on the Y-chromosome, including SNPs, which are unique genetic mutations that define individual branches on the paternal genetic tree. By examining these markers in high detail, the Big Y test provides an advanced understanding of one’s paternal haplogroup and allows users to trace their paternal ancestry back thousands of years, identifying specific branches and sub-branches of their paternal lineage.
This test can also reveal connections with distant paternal relatives who share unique SNPs, helping users further refine their family tree on the paternal side.
The Big Y test is ideal for individuals who have previously tested with Y-DNA but seek deeper insights into ancient paternal ancestry or for genetic genealogy enthusiasts who wish to participate in public Y-DNA projects.
By exploring these markers, users can connect with paternal relatives, determine ancient ancestral origins, and gain valuable insights into their unique paternal heritage. The Y-DNA test is an ideal test for males looking to deepen their understanding of their male ancestry and forge new connections with others who share a common paternal line.
