The Big Y product is a Y-chromosome direct paternal lineage test. It is designed to explore deep ancestral links on the common paternal tree. Big Y tests thousands of known branch markers as well as millions of places where there may be new branch markers. This product is intended for expert users with an interest in advancing science. However, it is not a test for matching you to one or more men with the same surname in the way that FTDNA's other Y-DNA tests do.
