![]() ![]() 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. A last name may have been based on an occupation, patronymics, or on a location where your ancestors lived. There are various different cultural practices that may have existed prior to the standardization of surnames. If your matches share a common ancestor with you before the time when surnames were established in your ancestral location, then you may have multiple different surnames on your match list. Many countries and regions did not officially adopt standard surnames as we think of them today until the 1700s, 1800s, and even the 1900s in some cases. If your direct paternal line is from a society or culture that did not adopt surnames until recently or from a society that used patronymic surnames that changed every generation, you may see many surnames on your match list. Nearly 100% of Y-DNA testers are able to find a match that shares a common surname with them with some specific exceptions. 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. 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. ![]() 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. ![]() The more of the Y chromosome that is tested, the more closely related we can tell if someone is to you. 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.Įach of the Y-DNA levels we offer will test different amounts of the Y chromosome. The Big Y-700 is for explorer users, it provides over 400K SNPs and additional STRs. 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. If you are looking to begin Y-DNA testing, the Y-37 Marker test allows you to become familiar with Y-DNA results. ![]()
