Ask the Experts with FamilyTreeDNA

FamilyTreeDNA is unique among our DNA testing companies because they are the only ones who offer YDNA and mtDNA testing. They also give you XDNA results, which can be helpful in some situations.

When you COMBINE DNA test types, the results can be even more powerful! The best way to show that is with examples. So:

Here’s a story about how one researcher used YDNA + autosomal DNA to explore whether shared surnames in an ancestral place meant everyone was actually related. (Great question, right?) https://www.yourdnaguide.com/ydgblog/...

Here’s another story about how another researcher took her autosomal research further back in time by adding YDNA–and discovering in the results that her “Dutch” surname wasn’t Dutch at all, but was actually associated with a specific place in Ireland! https://www.yourdnaguide.com/ydgblog/...

Aaand here’s a third story from a researcher who needed to look further into the past than autosomal DNA connections allowed, and XDNA provided clues about a distant relationship. https://www.yourdnaguide.com/ydgblog/...

I’m especially a fan of YDNA testing!
