The products below will test both your paternal and maternal lines.

• The combination of tests below are for men only.
• They are the recommended level of Y-DNA and mtDNA tests.
• These tests provide matches and recent ancestral origins.*
• 37-marker matches are highly likely to be related within the past 8 generations with a 95% confidence interval.
• mtDNA matches on HVR1+HVR2  are related within the past 28 generations with a 50% confidence interval
• Y-DNA is recommended for confirming a genealogical relationship with another male.
• mtDNA is recommended for confirming a genealogical relationship with another male or female.
• Each test will provide your Haplogroup: deep ancestral origin of the direct paternal and maternal lines.
• Family Tree DNA will store your DNA for free so that you can upgrade the tests in the future.
• There are NO subscription fee.

*Your matches and ancestral origins largely depend on how your DNA compares to the Family Tree DNA database. As it is the largest DNA database in the world, you have the greatest chance of finding close relatives by testing with Family Tree DNA. However, if your paternal line is rare, it is possible you will not have matches or ancestral origins information right away. As the database is constantly growing you may have matches over time and we will be notified e-mail.
