The Science

Two types of DNA markers are used by genealogists to trace family lineage: mtDNA markers and Y-DNA short tandem repeat markers.

DNA profiles of this ancient family from Jerusalem were determined in 2009 when the Tomb of the Shroud was accidentally discovered.

This web app compares your mtDNA DNA profile to 7 ancient mtDNA profiles to see if you may have descended from a family that lived in the Jesus-era.

If you have not tested your mtDNA and/or Y-DNA STR marker, you will need to create a Genebase account with the registration key on your test kit.

Both males and females can take the mtDNA test to trace their maternal line. Only males can take the Y-DNA test to trace their paternal line because only males have Y-DNA. For a female to trace her own paternal line, she would need to test a paternal relative, such as her brother, father, paternal uncles (father’s brother), paternal male cousins (father’s brother’s sons).
