Find out if you descended from the Jewish Cohen Priestly Line
Kohen (Cohen, Kohanim, Cohanim) is a Jewish priestly line. Families who belong to this line have a distinct Y-DNA STR profile. Test your Y-DNA STR markers to find out if you are a descendant of the Cohen lineage.
Facts
A set of Y-chromosomal markers (Y-STR), known as the “Cohen Modal Haplotype* is found in most Ashkenazi and Sephardi Kohanim Jews.”
Up to 1 million descendents of the Cohen lineage are living today.
All Kohanim Jews are descendents of Aaron, brother of Moses. Aaron was the first Kohen, and also the first high priest. All male line descendents of Aaron will test positive for the Cohen Modal Haplotype DNA type.

Find out if you descended from the Notorious High King of Ireland
Naill was legendary Irish High King. DNA test confirmed the existence of 3 millions of descendants from around the world. Researchers has found a specific unique Y-DNA STR marker profile in a large proportion of Irish men.
Facts
A set of Y-chromosomal markers (Y-STR), known as the “Cohen Modal Haplotype* is found in most Ashkenazi and Sephardi Kohanim Jews.”
Up to 3 million descendents of Naill of Nine Hostages are living today.
1 in 5 males of Northern Ireland
1 in 10 men in Western and Central Scotland
29% of European American New Yorker.
Ethnic Roots
The Ethnic Roots DNA Database allows you to compare your DNA against the published markers of indigenous population groups from around the world to see which indigenous groups are the closest match to your DNA type.
Dynamic database content:
Scientists are racing against time to document the DNA type of the world’s existing indigenous population groups. The Indigenous DNA population database is updated whenever new population data is published.
DNA Reunion
DNA is a powerful way to connect family members. When the paper trail ends, DNA can provide strong leads for finding missing relatives and filling in gaps in your family tree. The DNA Reunion database allows you to test your DNA markers and search for matches, so you can find close and distant family members.

Find out if you carry Genghis Khan’s “super Y” lineage?
Genetics studies have defined the Y-DNA STR profile of Genghis Khan, the world leader who founded the largest empire in the history. Even more than 700 years after his death, his paternal Y-DNA still passed down from generation to generation. Genghis Khan’s “super Y” lineage, carried by all his paternal descendants, still exists in more than 17 million men in Asia and parts of Europe.
Facts
Large-scale DNA studies have found a specific Y-DNA STR profile in 8% of the men in the regions conquered by Genhis Khan and his descendants during their rule.
According to genetic studies, Genghis Kahn’s “super Y” lineage still exists in more than 17 million men in Asia and parts of Europe, most of them living in areas of the old Mongol Empire.
