Does the Family Finder test use Y-chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) test results?
No, Y-chromosome DNA (Y-DNA) results are not used for matching or relatedness calculations by the Family Finder software. The Family Finder program only uses the autosomal SNP (single nucleotide polymorphism) test results from the Family Finder microarray chip to determine matches and calculate relationships.
