Hi I am researching my Dad'sfamily line into Devon and have gone back as far as 17th Century in Tiverton, and other villages in North and Mid Devon, and am wondering how I go about finding out about more relative, which dna test would you recommend for me to move forward and uncover more information on my Dads ancestry. I welcome your help with this
Thanks
Karen Boxall

Hi Karen
If you're interested in using DNA to help with your research into your dad's line back into the 17th century then you would need to use Y-DNA testing. Only men have a Y-chromosome so this test would have to be done by your dad or by another male relative with the surname of interest.
