The Goal of DNA Testing for Genealogy HQ is to provide you with information about the different types of DNA tests for genealogy or ethnicity, the companies that provide these tests, and finally to provide you with tools and resources to help you get the most out of your DNA results.
Congratulations on your decision to test your DNA for use with Your Genealogical Research.
Get ready to meet/discover close and distant cousins!
3 DNA Tests
Autosomal DNA (atDNA) looks at the DNA for all of your ancestors. Learn More
Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) is passed down from the mother to all her children, both male and female. Learn More
Y Chromosome DNA (y-DNA) is passed down from father to son. So females will not be able to take this test. They will need to find a close male relative to test. Learn More
AncestryDNA offers only the atDNA test, but the extensive member family trees make them one of the leaders. Learn More
FamilyTreeDNA offers the atDNA (FamilyFinder), mtDNA, and the y-DNA tests. Learn More
