Y-DNA Testing
Y-DNA Testing is a genetic analysis that examines the Y chromosome, which is passed from father to son. This type of testing is primarily used to trace paternal lineage and can help individuals understand their ancestry and family history. It is particularly useful for genealogical research, as it can reveal connections to distant relatives and ancestral origins.
The Y chromosome contains specific markers that can indicate shared ancestry among males. By comparing these markers with others in a database, individuals can identify their genetic matches and learn more about their family tree. Y-DNA testing is often used in combination with other genetic tests to provide a more comprehensive view of one's heritage.
