The most popular test with Family Tree DNA (our preferred genetic testing company) is the "Family Finder" test. If you're unsure of which DNA test is right for your interests, starting with the "Family Finder" test is the most economical, and Family Tree DNA gives the option to store your sample so you can add additional testing at any time (without providing another genetic sample).
If you are a male that genetically descends from a KENT father, the yDNA test (with a minimum of 37 markers) is highly recommended to trace your father's line.
The Kent Family & DNA Project relies heavily on our KENT males taking a yDNA test since it is the ONLY test that will target DNA inherited strictly from a KENT father (that he inherited from his own KENT father and so forth). These results determine if two Kent families from long ago are related or not. Bundles that include the yDNA test along with the popular "Family Finder" test are excellent. Ordering directly from the The Kent Family & DNA Project, will give you a discounted rate and you will automatically be enrolled in our project.
This is a very personal and important choice. The following information is to help guide those to make an informed decision.
This depends on your objective! Family Tree DNA offers three types of DNA tests that target different parts of one's DNA, an overview of each will follow.
