DNA TESTING FOR GENEALOGY
If you are looking for that long lost relative, or if you feel that some day, someone may use a DNA repository to look
for long lost relatives, you should consider doing one of these simple DNA tests.
DNA Services of America is affiliated with the world’s largest DNA Testing company in the new field of genetic
genealogy. Your ancestors left clues in your DNA that can determine your deep ancestral origins. By comparing your
DNA Test results to the databases, the largest of it’s kind in the world, we can tell you if those clues indicate your
ancestry with others who are also searching for clues to their ancestry.
Y-DNA: By testing the Y-DNA, males can determine the origin of their paternal line. Note that the Y-DNA strictly
checks the paternal line, with no influence of any females along that line. Females do not receive the Y-DNA, and
therefore females cannot be tested along the paternal line. If you are a female who would like to know about your
personal line, you would need to have a brother or a male relative from that line be tested.
mtDNA: By testing the mtDNA, males and females can determine the origin of their maternal line. Note that the
mtDNA strictly checks the maternal line, with no influence of any males along that line. Both males and females
receive the mtDNA from the mother.
