Title: Y-DNA and Endogamy
Post by: GMac78 on Sunday 29 December 19 16:32 GMT (UK)

Hi,

Does anybody know if Y-DNA results are in any way skewed by many generations of cousin marriages? If so, could someone perhaps give a short explanation on the possible effects. Thanks in advance.

GMac.

Y-DNA comes through the direct paternal line so it is not affected by marriages.
