The Y-111 test is the most beneficial for joining our free Group Projects or for those looking to confirm Y-chromosome matching between two living men. The Big Y-700 is for explorer users, it provides over 400K SNPs and additional STRs. If you’re looking to find your placement on the Y-DNA Haplotree, then the Big Y-700 is the test you will need to purchase.<p class="ng-tns-c68-0 ng-star-inserted">Each of the Y-DNA levels we offer will test different amounts of the Y chromosome. The more of the Y chromosome that is tested, the more closely related we can tell if someone is to you.<p class="ng-tns-c68-0 ng-star-inserted">Out of the three levels that we offer, the Y-37 tests the fewest STRs, and so through analysis of your matches, you can only know you share a common patrilineal ancestor within several hundred years for certain.<p class="ng-tns-c68-0 ng-star-inserted">The Y-111 provides more STR results for a higher-resolution comparison and includes the Y-37 test, so through analysis of your matches you can determine a better timeframe of when your common patrilineal ancestor lived.<p class="ng-tns-c68-0 ng-star-inserted">The Big Y-700 looks at everything that is genealogically relevant on the Y chromosome, so you’ll receive everything that you would with the Y-37 and the Y-111, plus additional results that allow us to provide more analysis and help you refine even further to determine the best timeframe for when your common patrilineal ancestor lived as well as find your best placement on the world’s largest Y-DNA haplotree.</div></div></div></div></details><details id="e-n-accordion-item-3461" class="e-n-accordion-item"><summary class="e-n-accordion-item-title" data-accordion-index="2" tabindex="-1" aria-expanded="false" aria-controls="e-n-accordion-item-3461"><span class="e-n-accordion-item-title-header"><div class="e-n-accordion-item-title-text">What is Y-DNA?</div></span> <span class="e-n-accordion-item-title-icon"><span class="e-opened"><svg aria-hidden="true" class="e-font-icon-svg e-fas-minus" viewbox="0 0 448 512" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M416 208H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h384c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z"></path></svg></span> <span class="e-closed"><svg aria-hidden="true" class="e-font-icon-svg e-fas-plus" viewbox="0 0 448 512" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><path d="M416 208H272V64c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32h-32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v144H32c-17.67 0-32 14.33-32 32v32c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h144v144c0 17.67 14.33 32 32 32h32c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32V304h144c17.67 0 32-14.33 32-32v-32c0-17.67-14.33-32-32-32z"></path></svg></span></span></summary><div class="has_eae_slider elementor-element elementor-element-7de9bf2f e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child" role="region" aria-labelledby="e-n-accordion-item-3461" data-id="7de9bf2f" data-element_type="container"><div class="elementor-element elementor-element-4bfbf4d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="4bfbf4d" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"><div class="elementor-widget-container"><div class="answer ng-tns-c68-0 ng-trigger ng-trigger-accordianAnimator ng-star-inserted"><p>Y-DNA is what we call the sex chromosome “Y” that is passed from a father to his sons only, women do not receive a Y chromosome.

A last name may have been based on an occupation, patronymics, or on a location where your ancestors lived. A last name may have been taken because your ancestors were part of a specific clan, even though not all men were directly related on the paternal line.<p class="ng-tns-c68-0 ng-star-inserted">You may also have situations where a different surname than you expected shows up repeatedly in your matches list. This may be because of an undocumented name change or an out-of-wedlock birth somewhere in your direct paternal line.<p class="ng-tns-c68-0 ng-star-inserted">This rarely means that through the test you discovered that you are adopted and that your birth father is not who you thought he was. The vast majority of the time, this is going to be a situation that is much further back in time.<p class="ng-tns-c68-0 ng-star-inserted">Every now and then, there are no or very few testers in the database who share your direct paternal line. This is either because few people from your ancestral location or line have tested or because there are not many people available to test on your direct line in general.<p class="ng-tns-c68-0 ng-star-inserted">The Y-DNA test results will typically provide you with fewer matches than a test like the Family Finder™. The Family Finder™ is looking at all of your ancestral lines. The Y-DNA is focusing on just one of those lines. If your direct paternal line does not have many descendants, or if it was decimated through an event such as the Holocaust or the Armenian Genocide, then you may have limited matches.<p class="ng-tns-c68-0 ng-star-inserted">Your match list will typically grow over time. As more people test, more people will match you and be added to your list. We’ll send you a notification when this happens. There are many other historical and cultural reasons why you may not share the same surname with all of your Y-DNA matches. Joining surname, geographical, and the appropriate haplogroup Group Projects, as well as reaching out to your matches, can help you uncover your connections.</div></div></div></div></details></div></div></div></div></div><div class="post-tags"></div></div></main>  <footer-root></footer-root> <script
