Multiple family accounts? If you had ordered DNA tests for other family members and their accounts do not appear in the “My Family’s
Tests” tab, it means that their accounts are not linked to your family tree. Contact us at support@genebase.com and let us know the name and
order ID# of your relatives’ DNA tests and we will help you to link their accounts into your family tree. Once your accounts are linked into the
same family tree, you will be able to view the results of your family members’ tests directly from your own account and trace multiple lines in
your family tree.

4. Your Y-DNA certificate will show you your unique Y-DNA profile. Your Y-DNA profile is unique to you and your Paternal
lineage and contains the unique genetic code for your Paternal ancestry. Your Paternal ancestors and all people who
descended from the same Paternal line as you have exactly the same Y-DNA profile as you.
Step 2: Tracing your Paternal Ancestry with Y-DNA

STR Marker Table: A
table listing your
unique Y-DNA profile
results (your marker
values for each STR
marker tested)
Understanding your Y-DNA STR certificate: Your certificate lists each Y-DNA STR marker that was tested in your Y-DNA. The number on
the right of each STR marker is your unique allele value for that marker. The unique pattern of values for all of the Y-DNA STR markers tested
is called your Y-DNA STR Profile. Your Y-DNA STR Profile is unique to your Paternal ancestry. All males who have descended from the same
Paternal lineage as you will have exactly the same or very similar Y-DNA STR profile as you, and that is how Y-DNA can conclusively confirm
whether someone is related to you on your direct Paternal line.
