The Y-Chromosome DNA Test is used to find out whether males have a common male relative and trace the male lineage. This DNA test is only for males since females lack the Y chromosome. Y-Chromosome Surname Studies can provide you with evidence of relationship with distant cousins that share the same last name, but will not tell you about the relatives that are not direct paternal relatives.
