Difference between a Maternal Lineage Test and Paternal Lineage Test

Maternal Lineage Test

A Maternal Lineage Test analyzes mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), which is passed down from mother to child. It traces your maternal ancestry and reveals deep-rooted genetic connections across generations. The test identifies your maternal haplogroup, linking you to ancient populations and migration paths. It’s a powerful way to explore your origins and understand your ancestral heritage through your mother’s line.

Paternal Lineage Test

A Paternal Lineage Test examines the Y-chromosome, passed from father to son, to trace your direct male ancestry. It reveals your paternal haplogroup and connects you to ancient populations and migration routes. This test provides insight into your deep ancestral origins on your father’s side. It’s ideal for tracing your father’s ancestral roots, explore ethnic or geographic heritage and understand surname connections
