Which line can I trace?

Tracing your paternal line

For tracing the paternal lineage, you will want to order a Y-DNA Ancestry Test. Y-DNA has only 2 types of genetic markers that provide useful ancestral information: STR and SNP markers. You will need Y-DNA STR marker profiles to access our free ancestry web apps. SNP markers are used to trace haplogroups, aka “deep ancestry”, and to confirm a person’s haplogroup and subclade. Only males can take paternal ancestry tests. Females wishing to trace paternal ancestry would need to test a paternal relative, such as a brother, father, paternal uncles (father’s brother), or paternal male cousins (father’s brother’s sons). You can order the following tests for tracing paternal ancestry:

  1. Standard Paternal Ancestry Package (Y-DNA 20 STR Marker Test), $119
  2. Advanced Paternal Ancestry Package (Y-DNA 44 STR Marker Test), $199
  3. Premium Paternal Ancestry Package (Y-DNA 101 STR Marker Test), $339

Tracing your maternal line For tracing the maternal lineage (mother’s mother’s mother’s … line), you will need to order a mtDNA ancestry test. All humans have 3 regions in their mtDNA, namely:  HVR1, HVR2 and Coding Region. You can order the following tests for tracing maternal ancestry:

  1. Standard Maternal Ancestry Package (mtDNA HVR1 Test), $119
  2. Advanced Maternal Ancestry Package (mtDNA HVR1 + HVR2 Test), $189
  3. Premium Maternal Ancestry Package (mtDNA HVR1 + HVR2 + Coding Region Test), $528
