FHSNL is an affiliate of Family Tree DNA, which specialises in genealogical DNA testing. Family Tree DNA can perform tests that focus on your direct maternal ancestral line, or on your direct paternal ancestral line. They also offer a new "Family Finder" test that uses autosomal DNA to identify relatives through a combination of maternal and/or paternal lines.

For direct paternal line testing (which involves testing a man's DNA), you can search for a corresponding surname-based DNA project by using the "Surname Search" form on the right side of the Family Tree DNA webpage, or by clicking on "Projects" at the top of their webpage.

For direct maternal line testing, note that there is a Newfoundland and Labrador mtDNA Project that you can join if your direct maternal ancestral line involves Newfoundland and Labrador.
