How many generations does DNA go back?
A commons question I’m asked is, how many generations does DNA go back. If you’re using an autosomal test such as AncestryDNA, 23andMe, or MyHeritage, you’ll generally go back 6 to 8 generations. Assuming 25 years per generation, you can expect 150-200 years of DNA information by taking an autosomal DNA test.
Does 23andMe tell you who your parents are?
If you are male, your paternal haplogroup tells you about your paternal-line ancestors, from your father to his father and beyond. Because females do not have Y chromosomes, they do not have paternal haplogroups. Females can still learn about their recent paternal ancestry in our Ancestry Composition Report.
Is 23andMe or Ancestry better?
Ancestry has a much larger customer database (20 million) than 23andMe (12 million) making it the better choice if you’re testing for genealogy. 23andMe has more advanced health testing, making it the better choice if you’re testing for health reasons.
