Are you related to a well-known historical figure? Could you descend from the first settlers in Europe, before the beginning of the Ice Age? Perhaps your ancestors were visitors from nearby Asia or North Africa?

The Paternal Ancestry Test will enable you to discover your ancient paternal heritage via Y-chromosome testing. This test needs a DNA sample from a male, as it checks the Y-chromosome markers to determine which paternal haplogroup or “clan” you belong to. If you’re female and would like to take this test, you will have to submit a paternal relative’s DNA sample such as your father, brother, grandfather or father's brother.

Your Paternal Lineage DNA Test report will state your haplogroup, indicating the area of the world your ancestors hailed from. It also contains raw data, also called a haplotype, for your Y-STR DNA test, which will enable you to carry out further investigation in other ancestral gateways.

You receive:

- Designation of your haplogroup

- Personalised map showing your ancestors' journey and where they first settled in the ancient world

- Your Y-STR profile (raw data)

- Interesting facts about your haplogroup, eg. which parts of the world you can find your "genetic cousins" and prominent people who share the same haplogroup as you do.

Price includes courier costs: delivering the test kit to the laboratory once you’re ready.
