Compare your Y-DNA to famous people in history to see just how closely you may be linked to them.

DNA testing is used increasingly to identify mummies and solve age old historical questions.  Now, you can compare your own DNA to these famous people in history and see how you fit in.  As new anthropological discoveries are made, our database of ancient DNA will continue to grow. 

Y-DNA is often used to solve mysteries of paternal lineage.  The famous case of Thomas Jefferson and Sally Hemmings was solved using Y-DNA testing.  Also, Y-DNA testing of large groups of people can be used to derive a "haplotype" (characteristic set of STR markers) that is linked to a particular family line, such as Genghis Khan. 

See how your own paternal lineage is linked to these famous studies.  The famous Y-DNA database continues to grow as more historical discoveries are made.
