Paternal Lineage Test

Service Description

Use DNA to determine where ancestors were from—along the paternal line. This test displays the haplogroup designation and a map showing the ancestors’ journey. The map also shows where they initially settled in the old world. Through a paternal lineage DNA test, you can trace the story of a family’s unique journey, from its likely point of origin to points around the world. For many people, this can be a unique opportunity to learn more about their family’s history when family records are incomplete or nonexistent. A paternal ancestry DNA test can provide more accurate results even when they think they know their family’s history, because the science doesn’t depend on the relatives' records that may be faulty or incomplete. IF YOUR CLIENT IS A FEMALE: Do not submit their own DNA sample—paternal lineage information is found on the Y-chromosome, which women do not have. If they want to do paternal lineage testing, their full biological brother or biological father needs to contribute a DNA sample. Test Results Include: ✅Personalized Certificate PDF:Displays your haplogroup designation and map showing your ancestors' journey and where they initially settled in the old world The paternal lineage test is based on the fact that the Y chromosome is passed down from father to child relatively unchanged through several generations. Special sections on the Y chromosome, called short tandem repeats (STRs), are examined to determine a person's Y haplogroup—revealing the geographic origins of his ancestors as evidenced by common DNA markers.
