Oxford has a program.

They will trace back your X or Y chromosomes to their original "clan", but charges about $300 a chromosome and you have to be of European origin.

So, where did Eve come from? Was she a chicken or an egg?

There are quite a number of groups who are willing to test your DNA for a fee, but the National Geographic program is the most reasonably priced that I've seen.

However, they aren't testing the maternal mitochondrial DNA in males, so if you are a male and want that done, you need to go elsewhere.

This program tests the (maternal female-to-female-to female, etc.) mitochondrial DNA in females, and the Y-chromosome (paternal male-to-male-to-male, etc.) DNA in males.

Females don't have Y-chromosome DNA but males do have mitochondrial DNA, which they get from their mother, not their father.
