How many of your ancestors can DNA genetic testing find?


Is it only mtDNA and Y-Chromosome testing that helps? Can non-mtDNA/Y-Chromosome find nationalities and races for people not through your direct mother's mother's and father's father's lines?

that depends on how many relatives are still alive. If your family goes far back, like maybe great grandparents, then you can find out a lot of information. If you don't, then you are limited to as far you can go back. Also depends on how many nationalities you think you might have. The more nationalities, the further out, or sideways with other relatives, you need to go.

If you really need to know your nationalities, hire a geneticist.
