	The test for yDNA is for the male line only. Your sister's son with have that DNA from his father, not from your father.

	These tests cannot tell you anything remotely useful They are a moneymaking scam

	Just be aware that our nephew's Y chromosome will come from his father as his mother has 2 X chromosomes - one from each parent. Not sure what you are hoping to discover with all this? Jan

Does anyone know if this is possibe? Thank You
