Why Y-DNA?
There are now many types of DNA tests on the market, but only the Y-DNA test will identify your P-rr-tt lineage. Tests offered by Ancestry and 23&Me provide many types of information, but will not provide detailed information your paternal family's origins.
That is where Y-DNA tests come in. All men have a Y-chromosome, which is what a Y-DNA test looks at. Fathers pass this chromosome on to their sons, just the way they pass their surnames on. Their sons pass their Y chromosome on to their sons, forever. Thus all men within a family share an identical Y-chromosome, except for rare changes that happen from time to time.
These rare changes are known as 'markers', because they can be identified in a laboratory. The result of testing several markers is a string of numbers, such as 10-22-14-10-13-14-11-etc. Men of the same family share the the same string of numbers; unrelated men have different strings of numbers.
DNA testing is simple and painless: just a few cells scraped from the inside of the cheek are all that is needed.
The Y-DNA 37 marker test is a good place to start. If your goals are to confirm (rather than exclude) relationships, consider the Y-DNA 111 marker test. The Big Y-700 is the most comprehensive test, particularly if your interest is in the ancestral origins of your family line.
