Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
You can also do it through ancestry!.com!. Since you are a girl, you probably should go with the Maternal Lineage Test!.

If you are interested in exploring your paternal lineage, a DNA sample must be provided by your father, brother, or a male cousin on your father's side!. Choose "MALE" for the participant's gender and select a Paternal Lineage test!.



Why gender matters!.!.!.
The type of DNA test you can take depends on your gender!. The Paternal Lineage test analyzes DNA found on Y-chromosome which is present only for males!.

The Maternal Lineage test analyzes DNA found in mitochondria, which is present in both females and males!.

Choosing Y-33 vs Y-46
The Paternal Lineage Y-chromosome 33 test is recommended because it provides the minimum number of markers needed to obtain a meaningful match between participants!.

You may choose the Y-chromosome 46 test if you want to further narrow the span of generations for finding a common ancestor with another participant's Y-46 test!.

Maternal Lineage
Matching your maternal lineage results can help you find participants who share your ancient ancestry!. Maternal test can determine whether participants are NOT related by having one or more result mismatches!.

If you can build your pedigree back 4 generations, to your great-grand parents you can get your DNA tested free at Sorensen!. They send you a sample kit free, you send it back and it takes them from three months to a year to post your results!. Then you have to figure out how to find your results, there are several sites that tell you how to find your results!.

You will get a web page and privacy but they never directly tell you your results!. Read about it at their web site, they are trying to build the database so people can find out their family history by spitting in a cup!.

They do a full sequence of mtDNA (female) that would cost you US$ hundreds at a commercial site!. Then you can enter it into Ancestry!.com or any other search site to find and contact your genetic cousins!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

do the maternal one
Since you are a female you have to do that one!. It will only show the female side of your family example your mom, her mom , her mom, her mom etc
Right now that is the only way they can do it!.

Males do the paternal one!. That will only give them their dad, his dad, his dad, etc
