Which DNA test do you want help with?
FamilyTreeDNA has the only YDNA test useful for genealogy. We have developed a unique, in-depth course to help you learn to maximize your results. Learn about your haplogroup, and how it may help with genealogy questions. Learn how YDNA matching works, how to spot useful YDNA matches, and how to mine them for the most information about your shared paternal line. Learn how (and why) to join YDNA projects and how to get the most out of them. You’ll even learn when and why to upgrade to Big Y, and what you can do with those advanced results.
What is the YDNA Course like? For 3-weeks, you’ll spend 2-3 hours per week on self-paced, online video tutorials; a colorful interactive workbook to help you practice and progress; inspiring case studies; an expert-moderated discussion board to interact with other learners; a live wrap-up Q&A Zoom session, and more.
